																				When I say, "I am a Christian"
																				
																				 I'm not shouting, "I’ve been saved!"
																				 I'm whispering, "I get lost!
																				 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 all 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 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
