When I say … “I am a Christian”
I am not shouting “I am saved”
I am whispering “I get lost”
“That is why I choose this way.”
When I say … “I am a Christian”
I do not speak of this with pride.
I am confessing that I stumble
and need someone to be my guide.
When I say … “I am a Christian”
I am not trying to be strong.
I am professing that I am weak
and pray for strength to carry on.
When I say … “I am a Christian”
I am not bragging of success.
I am admitting I have failed
and cannot ever pay the debt.
When I say … “I am a Christian”
I am not claiming to be perfect.
My flaws are too visible
