When I say...
“I am a Christian,” I am not shouting, “I am clean living,”;
I am whispering, “I was lost, now I am found and forgiven.”
When I say…
“I am a Christian,” I do not speak of this with pride.
I am confessing that I stumble and I need Christ 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 I need His strength to carry on.
When I say…
“I am a Christian,” I am not bragging of success.
I am admitting I have failed and I need God to clean up my mess.
When I say...
"I am a Christian," I am not claiming to be perfect.
My flaws are far too visible, my failures every single day.
When I say…
“I am a Christian,” I still feel the sting of pain;
I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon the name of Christ.
When I say…
“I am a Christian,” I am not holier than thou, I am just a simple sinner
who received God’s amazing grace.
