"When I Say 'I Am A Christian'" by Carol Wimmer
When I say, “I am a Christian”I’m not shouting, “I’ve been saved!” I’m whispering, “I get lost sometimes That’s why I chose this way”
When I say, “I am a Christian” I don’t speak with human pride I’m confessing that I stumble - needing God 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 that I’ve failed and cannot ever pay the debt
When I say, “I am a Christian” I don’t think I know it all I submit to my confusion asking humbly to be taught
When I say, “I am a Christian” I’m not claiming to be perfect My flaws are far 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 heartache which is why I seek God’s name
When I say, “I am a Christian” I do not wish to judge I have no authority I only know I’m loved
