I don't speak of this with pride.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak<BR /><DIV>
					And need His strength to carry on.</DIV>
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed<BR /><DIV>
					And need God to clean my mess.</DIV>
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible<BR /><DIV>
					But, God believes I am worth it.</DIV>
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I still feel the sting of pain.
I have my share of heartaches<BR /><DIV>
