When I Say I Am A Christian

When I say...I am a Christian
I'm not shouting "I'm saved."
I'm whispering "I get lost."
That is why I choose this way.

When I say...I am a Christian
I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble,
And need someone to be my guide.

When I say...I am a Christian
I'm not trying to be strong,
I'm confessing that I am weak ~
And pray for strength to carry on.

When I say...I am a Christian
I'm not bragging of success,
I'm admitting I have failed,
And I cannot pay the debt.

When I say...I am a Christian
I'm not claiming to be perfect.
My flaws are 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,
Which is why I seek His Name.

When I say...I am a Christian,
I do not wish to judge;
I have no authority,
I only know I'm loved.
