WHEN I SAY "I AM A CHRISTIAN", I AM NOT SHOUTING THAT I AM CLEAN LIVING,

I'M WHISPERING " I WAS LOST, BUT NOW I AM 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.

WEHN I SAY, " I AM A CHRISTIAN", I'M NOT HOLIER THAN THOU,

I'M JUST A SIMPLE SINNER WHO RECEIVED GOD'S GRACE SOME HOW!

"FOR BY GRACE ARE YE SAVED THROUGH FAITH; AND NOT OF YOURSELVES, IT IS A GIFT FROM GOD." EPHESIANS 2: 8
