I'm a Christian
sourced from hanwongc.blogspot.com

I'm a Christian by Maya Angelou

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 i 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.

-----------------------------------------------------------

and this is why i am a Christian.

even when the people who make church bearable are half a world away.

because i'm not a christian just because i go to church.

and just because i don't go to church doesn't make me a non-christian.
