When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not
shouting 'I'm clean living,'
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!

some sources say Carol Wmmer wrote this others say Maya Angelou. I will say I don't know for sure.
