About Me

a PASSION to know Jesus Christ and to make HIM known...


I would rather live my life as if there is a God, and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't, and die to find out there is...
I AM A CHRISTIAN
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 so 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...
