When I say, "I am a Christian" by Carol Wimmer

This poem was sent to me and I wanted to share it with you guys. Enjoy. =)

When I say, "I am a Christian," I'm not shouting, "I've been saved!"
I'm whispering, "I get lost! 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 far 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 which is why I seek 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
