Nice Poem

 I am 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 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.
