When I say “I am a Christian"

When I say “I am a Christian”, I am not shouting that “I am….clean living.

I’m whispering “I was lost, but now Im found and forgiven.”

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 Im 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 God’s help 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 believes I am worth it.

When I say “I am a Christian” I still feel the sting of pain.

I have me 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 is saved by God’s Good Grace!
