I'm a Christian by Maya Angelou
|
Posted By: Kimberly John on June 09, 2005 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'm not holier than thou, I'm just a simple sinner Who received God's good grace, somehow If you enjoyed this article, Join HBCU CONNECT today for similar content and opportunities via email! |
