I saw this on someone's profile. I think it's pretty cool!

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 was just a simple sinner who received God's good grace, somehow.
