I am...


I am a Christian

When I say.."I am a Christian"
I'm not shouting "I'm clean living"
I'm whispering "I was lost"
Now I'm found and forgiven

When I say..."I am a Christian"
I don't speak of this with pride
I'm confessing that I stumble
and need Christ to be my guide

When I say..."I am a Christian"
I'm not trying to be strong
I'm professing that I am weak

When I say..." I am a Christian"
I'm not bragging of my success
I'm admitting that I failed
and need God to clean my mess

When I say..."I am a Christian"
I'm not claiming to be perfect 
My flaws are far too visible
But God believes I am worth it

When I say..."I am a Christian"
I still feel the sting of pain 
I have my share of heartaches
So I call upon his name

When I say..."I am a Christian"
I'm not holer than thou
I'm just a simple sinner
Who received God's good grace, somehow.



happy sunday.
