# 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 I'm 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 I'm 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 need God 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 my 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 received God's good grace, somehow!
