When I say I am a Christian,
I'm not shouting "I am saved."
I'm whispering "I got lost"
That is 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 someone 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,
And pray for 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'm not claiming to be perfect.
My flaws are too visible,
But God believes I'm worth it.
When I say I am 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 am a Christian,
I do not wish to judge.
I have no authority,
I only know I'm loved.
