When I say... "I'm a Christian"

I'm not shouting "I'm clean livin."

I'm whispering "I was lost,"

Now I'm found and forgiven.

When I say... "I'm 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'm 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'm a Christian"

I'm not bragging of success

I'm admitting that I have failed

And need God to clean my mess.

When I say... "I'm a Christian"

I'm not claiming to be perfect.

My flaws are way too visible

But, God believes I'm WORTH IT.

When I say... "I'm 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'm a Christian"

I'm not holier than thou,

I'm just a simple sinner

Who received God's good grace, somehow.
