On Being A Christian
On Being a Christian
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I’m not shouting "I am saved"
I’m whispering "I was 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 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 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 speak 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.
