When I say... "I am a Christian," I’m not shouting "I am saved." I’m whispering "I was lost," That’s why I chose this way.
When I say... "I am a Christian," I don’t speak of this with pride. I’m confessing that I stumble And need Him as 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 strength to carry on.
When I say... "I am a Christian," I’m not bragging of success. I’m admitting I have failed And can never pay the debt.
When I say... "I am a Christian," I still feel heartache and pain. I have my share of troubles – That’s why I seek His name.
When I say... "I am a Christian," I don’t claim to perfect be. My flaws are far too many – But God sees worth in me.
When I say... "I am a Christian," It’s not to stand and judge – It’s to pray that you will know Him And be loved as I am loved. |
