When I Say I Am A Christian
When I say, "I am a Christian"
I'm not shouting, "I've been saved!"
I'm whispering, "I get lost!
That's why I chose this way".
When I say, "I am a Christian"
I don't speak with human pride
I'm confessing that I stumble--
Needing God 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 am a Christian"
I'm not bragging of success
I'm admitting that I've failed
That I've done things I regret.
When I say, "I am a Christian"
I don't think I know it all
I submit to my confusion
Asking humbly to be taught.
When I say, "I am a Christian"
I'm not claiming to be perfect
My flaws are all too visible
But God believes I'm worth it.
When I say, "I am a Christian"
I still feel the sting of pain
I have my share of heartache,
Which is why I seek God's name.
When I say, "I am a Christian"
I do not wish to judge
I have no authority...
I only know I'm loved.
