I AM A christian
by Maya Angelou

When I say... "I am a
christian"
I'm not shouting "I'm clean livin."
I'm whispering "I was lost,"
Now I'm found and forgiven.

When I say..."I am 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 am 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 am a
christian"
I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed
and need God to clean my mess.

When I say... "I am 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 am a christian"
I still feel the sting of pain,
I have my share of heartaches
too.  I call upon His name.
 
When I say...."I am a Christian"
I'm not holier than thou.
I'm just a simple sinner
who received God's good grace, somehow.
