When I say "I'm Christian"

When I say I'm a Christian
I'm not showing "I'm clean livin'"
I'm whispering "I was lost"
Now I'm found and forgiven

When I say I'm 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'm 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'm a Christian
I'm not bragging of success
I'm admiting I have failed
And need His strength to carry on

When I say I'm 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'm 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'm a Christian
I'm not holier than thou
I'm just a simple sinner
Who received God's good grace, somehow

And when I say I'm a Christian
It's because I follow
And I do believe in Him,
JESUS CHRIST
