When I Say That I Am A Christian

When I say that I am a Christian , I am not shouting that I am clean living. I am whispering I was lost, but now I am found and forgiven.

When I say that I am a Christian I don't speak of this with pride.
I am confessing that I stumble and need Jesus Christ to be my guide.

When I say that I am a Christian I am not trying to be strong.
I am professing that I am weak and need God strength to carry on.

When I say that I am a Christian I am not bragging of success.
I am admitting that I have failed, and need God to clean my mess.

When I say that I am a Christian I am not claiming to be perfect.
My flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it.

When I say that I am a Christian I still feel the sting of pain.
I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon Jesus name.

When I say that I am a Christian I am not holier than thou,
I am just a sinner who received God's good grace, somehow!

Be Blessed, And Be A Blessing
