When I say... "I am a Christian"
I don't speak of this with pride
I'm confessing 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 weak
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 takes all I have.
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.
