When I say I am a Christian
I’m not shouting I’ve been saved
I’m whispering I get lost at times
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
That’s why I seek God’s name

When I say I am a Christian
I do not wish to judge
I have no authority…
I only know I’m loved
