When I Say 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
but now I am forgiven

When I say..." I am a Christian"
I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confess 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 week
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'm 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!
