by Maya Angelou
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
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!
