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 dont 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'm 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 Gods good grace, somehow.
