When I say..."I'm a Christian"
I don't speak of this with pride
I'm confessing that I stumble
and I need someone to be my guide.

When I say..."I'm 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'm a Christian"
I'm not bragging of success
I'm admitting I have failed
and cannot ever pay the debt

When I say..."I'm a Christian"
I'm not claiming to be perfect,
my flaws are all too visible
but God believes I'm worth it

When I say..."I'm a Christian"
I still feel the sting of pain
I have my share of heartaches
which is why I seek His name
