When I say... "I am a Christian"
   I'm not shouting "I am saved"
   I'm whispering "I was lost"
   That's why I chose this way.

When I say..."I am a Christian"
   I don't speak of this with pride.
   I'm confessing that I stumble
   and need someone 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 I have failed
   and cannot ever pay the debt.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
   I'm 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 speak 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.

Share this with somebody who already has this
   understanding, as reinforcement.
   But more importantly, share this with those who
   do not have a clear understanding of what it         means to be a Christian, so that the myth that       Christians think they are "perfect" or "better          than others" can be dispelled.
