When I Say I'm a Christian
When I say I'm a Christian

When I say, "I'm a Christian"
I'm not shouting "I am saved!"
I'm whispering, "I get lost.
That's why I chose this way."

When I say, "I'm a Christian"
I don't speak of this with pride;
I'm confessing that I stubmle
and need someone to be my guide.

When I say, "I'm a Christian"
I'm not bragging of success;
I'm admitting I have failed
and cannot ever pay the debt.

When I say, "I'm a Christian"
I'm not claiming to be perfect;
my flaws are all to visible,
but God believes I'm worth it.

When I say, "I'm a Christian"
I still feel the sting of pain.
I have my share of heartaches
which is why I seek His name.

When I say, "I'm a Christian"
I do not wish to judge.
I have no authority;
I only know I'm loved.
