Getting to know me...

I am ...



I AM A CHRISTIAN


 
       When I say... "I am a Christian"
    
   I'm not shouting "I'm clean livin."
        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'm weak
        and need HIS strength to carry on.

        When I say... "I am a Christian"
        I'm not bragging of success.
        I'm admitting I have 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 holier than thou,
        I'm just a simple sinner
        who received God's good grace, somehow.
