CHRISTIAN©

When I say . . . “I am a Christian,”
I AM shouting “I’m clean living.”
Because I was once lost in the world,
And now I live sinless and forgiven.

When I say . . . “I am a Christian,”
I don’t speak of this with pride.
But I do speak with boldness,
Knowing Christ is my daily guide.

When I say . . . “I am a Christian,”
I am saying that I am strong.
Because I was once weak,
And God’s strength now carries me on.

When I say . . . “I am a Christian,”
I am bragging about my success.
Because it comes from the Lord,
And I know that I am truly blessed.

When I say . . . “I am a Christian,
I am claiming that I’m made perfect.
Because I am made in Christ’s image,
And I know because of that I can claim it.

When I say . . . “I am a Christian,”
I know that I am free from all pain.
Everything that I have to go through,
I will have victory over in Jesus name.

When I say . . . “I am a Christian,”
I’m not saying I’ve made it some how.
I am no longer just a simple sinner,
I am a child of God blessed in the here and now.
