When I say I am a ChristianI'm not shouting 'I am saved'
I'm whispering 'I get lost'
Which is why I chose this way.
When I say I am a Christian
I do not 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 need help 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.
