I like this one -

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 stumbleand 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 weakand 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 visiblebut, 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 sinnerwho received God's good grace, somehow.
