"When I Say I Am A Christian"

by Carol Wimmer


When I say ... "I am a Christian"

I am not shouting "I am saved;"

I am whispering "I get lost"

"That is why I choose this way."

When I say ... "I am a Christian"

I do not speak of this with pride.

I am confessing that I stumble

and need someone to be my guide.

When I say ... "I am a Christian"

I am not trying to be strong.

I am professing that I am weak

and pray for strength to carry on.

When I say ... "I am a Christian"

I am not bragging of success.

I am admitting I have failed

and cannot ever pay the debt.

When I say ... "I am a Christian"

I am not claiming to be perfect.

My flaws are 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

which is why I seek His hame.

When I say ... "I am a Christian"

I do not wish to judge.

I have no authority

I only know I am loved.
