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.

Norman Ortiz, as the newly confirmed Music Director, is energetically incorporating the Geneva Choir, the Chancel Bell Choir, instrumentalists and, of course, his own talents as a keyboardist into the Worship Service. We're finding great joy in participating in this form of worship of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. If you would also like to participate, please contact Norman at the church at 707-644-4414. Bell Choir practice is Thursday evening at 6 p.m. - 7:30 p.m. and Choir practice is also at Thursday evening at 7:45 p.m.-8:30 p.m. (or thereabouts). Some of us make a real evening of it and participate in both!! |
