       “A Christian”

           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!
