When I say "I'm a Christian"
I'm not shouting "I am saved"
I'm whispering "I was lost"
"That is why I chose His way"

When I say "I'm a Christian"
I don't speak of this with pride
I'm confessing that I stumble
Needing God to be my guide.

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

When I say "I'm a Christian"
I don't think I know it all
I submit to my confusion
Asking humbly to be taught

When I say "I'm 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'm 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'm a Christian"
I do not wish to judge
I have no authority
I only know I'm loved

I'm a Christian.
