'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 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!
Pretty is as Pretty does... but beautiful is just plain beautiful!
