got this from a friend
I am a Christian (by Maya Angelou)
When I say..."I am a Christian"
I'm not shouting "I'm clean livin."
I'm whispering "I was lost,
now I'm found and forgiven."
When I say..."I am a Christian"
I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble
and need CHRIST 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 need HIS strength to carry on.
When I say..."I am a Christian"
I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed
and need God to clean my mess.
When I say..."I am a Christian"
I'm 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'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner
who received God's good grace, somehow.
