                                  When I say I am a Christian
                                       by Carol Wimmer

                        When I say ..."I am a Christian"
                        I'm not shouting"I am saved"
                        I'm whispering "I am Lost!"
                        That is why I choose this way.

                       When I say... "I am a Christian."
                        I dont'  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 pray for strength to carry on.

                       When I say... I 'm a Christian
                       I'm not bragging of sucess
                       I'm amitting I have failed
                       and cannot ever pay the debt.

                      When I say... "I am a Christian"
                       I'm not claimin to be perfect,
                       my flaws are too visible
                       but God believes I am worth it.

                       When I say... "I am a Christian"
                        I still feel the 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 am loved
