When I say that I am a Christian, I am not shouting that I am clean living.
I am whispering "I was lost, but now found and forgiven"

When I say I am a Christian, I don't speak of this with pride
I am confessing that I stumber and need Christ to be my guide

When I say I am a Christian I am not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I am weak and need His strength to carry on.

When I say I am a Christian I am not bragging of success
I am admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.

When I say I am a Christian I am not claiming to be perfect.
My flaws are far 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, so I call upon His name.

When I say I am a Christian I am not holier than thou,
I am just a simple sinner who received God's good grace somehow.
