When I say I am a Christian

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 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 too visible
but God believes I'm worth it.

When I say... I am a Christian
I still feel a 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'm loved.
