WHEN I SAY I AM A CHRISTIAN...
by
Carol Wimmer
When I Say, "I am a
Christian,"
I'm not shouting, "I am saved!"
I'm whispering, "I get lost!"
That is 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 am 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'm 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 seek His Name.
When I say, "I am a Christian,"
I do not wish to judge.
I have no authority.
I only know I am loved.
