When I Say I Am a Christian
When I Say I Am A Christian
When I say I am a Christian,
I am not shouting "I am saved."
I am whispering "I am lost."
That is why I choose this way.
When I say I am a Christian,
I do not speak of this with pride.
I am confessing that I stumble
And need Someone to be my guide.
When I say I am a Christian,
I am not trying to be strong.
I am professing that I am weak
And pray for strength to carry on.
When I say I am a Christian,
I am not bragging of success.
I am admitting I have failed
And cannot ever pay the debt.
When I say I am a Christian,
I am not claiming to be perfect.
My flaws are too visible
But God believes I am 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 that I am.
