CHRISTIAN

'A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ
that a man should have to seek Him first to find her.'

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 am a Christian' I'm
not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner who received
God’s good grace, somehow!

Pretty is as Pretty does... But beautiful is just plain beautiful!
