My favorite poem

 I am a Christian




When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not shouting "I am saved!"
I'm whispering "I was 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'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 all 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 speak 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.
