63rd Street Christian Congregation

I Am A Christian When I say "I am a Christian"
I'm not shouting "I'm clean livin'"
Im 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 bragging of success.
I'm admitting that 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 falws are far to visable
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 that "I'm a Christian."
Im not holier than thou.
I'm just a simple sinner
who received God's good grace somehow!
