I am a Christian

I'm not shouting "I am saved."

I'm whispering "I get lost"

That is why I chose this way.

When I say . . .

I am a Christian

I don't 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 am weak

and pray for strength 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.
