I'm a Christian

When I say..."I'm 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'm a Christian"

I don't speak this with pride.

I'm confessing that I stumble

and need CHRIST to be my guide.

When I say..."I'm 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'm a Christian"

I'm not bragging of success.

I'm admitting that I have failed

and need God to clean my mess.

When I say..."I'm 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'm 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'm a Christian"

I'm not holier than you

I'm just a simple sinner

who received God's good grace somehow.
