I am, and will never apologize for being, a CHRISTIAN.

Christian catch such crap for living a double standard. We get trapped and tripped by people who try their hardest to catch us flawed and fallen, weak and wrong! Truth be known, Christians do not wish to display perfection. We do not claim to be holy. We just try and what it really comes down to is being even more aware of our flaws than those trying to trip us up, hence the reason we ever acknowledged our need for a savior.

This is the clearest and most pure view, I have heard, of the Christian I claim to be!
(Those who judge, go ahead, realizing you prob. arent going to reveal anything that I am not already aware needs to be "fixed.")

I am a Christian!

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.
