When I say.......

My husband Andrew snagged this off of Scooter Ward's blog. If you don't know who he is, he's the former lead singer of the band Cold. He recently publicly proclaimed his beliefs through an article in CCM Magazine and Cold is now disbanded but he's working on a new project called When November Falls. He posted this on his blog, I think it's great.

When I Say I'm A Christian
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!
Phil 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me"
