  • In Honor Of Angel O'Hare My Friend

When I say... "I am a Christian", I am 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'm not trying to be strong.

I am 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!
