Heartbeats
When I say... "I am a Christian" I am not shouting, "I am saved"
I'm whispering, "I was lost" that's 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 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 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.
