When I say, "I'm a Christian"

.

"When I say... "I'm 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 I need His strength to carry on.

When I say... "I'm 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'm a Christian."

I'm not claiming to be perfect

My flaws are far too visible,

But, God believes I'm worth it.

When I say... "I'm 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'm a Christian."

I'm not holier than thou,

I'm just a simple sinner,

Who received God's good grace, somehow!

I'm not sure who wrote this heartfelt poem, but the words are so powerful and true!

I hope this blesses you as it did me.

God Bless!
