When I say ... "I am a Christian," I'm not shouting "I'm clean livin'."

I'm whispering "I was lost, 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.
