When I Say "I Am A Christian"...
|
|
When I say..."I am a Christian"
|
|
I'm not shouting "I am
saved"
|
|
I'm whispering "I get 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'm
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 cannot ever 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.
