When I say..."I am a Christian"
I'm not shouting "I am saved"
I'm whispering "I was lost"
That is why I chose this way.
When I say..."I am a Christian"
I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble
And need someone 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 pray for strength to carry on.
When I say..."I am a Christian"
I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed
And cannot ever pay the debt.
When I say..."I am 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 am a Christian"
I still feel the sting of pain
I have my share of heartaches
Which is why I speak His name.
When I say..."I am a Christian"
I do not wish to judge.
I have no authority.
I only know I'm loved.

That is so true it's almost hard to believe. The Lord demands fairness in all areas but forgiveness through Him is nothing short of PURE MERCY.

It is just as profound now as the first time I read it. Sadly, even though most Christians will appreciate it, there are likely to be few others who do.

Nice.
Your own poem?
Did you know you are His poem?
"For we are His workmanship (Greek: poiema - whence the English word poem), created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God has foreordained, that we should walk in them."
Ephesians 2:10

I like that very much. In fact, I think that's a "keeper"
