When I Say I Am A Christian

When I say “I am a Christian”,

I’m not shouting, “I am 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 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 professing that I’m weak,

And pray for strength to carry on.

When I say “I am a Christian”,

I’m not bragging of my success.

I’m admitting I have failed,

And cannot ever 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’m worth it.

When I say “I am a Christian”,

I still feel the sting of pain.

I have my shares 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 that I am loved.
