When I Say, "I am a Christian"

[Metaldoc]

When I Say..."I am a Christian"

When I say..."I am a Christian"
I'm not shouting "I am saved"
I'm whispering "I get lost!"
"That is why I chose this way."

When I say..."I am a Christian"
I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble
and need someone 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 pray for strength to carry on.

When I say..."I am a Christian"
I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed
and cannot ever pay the debt.

When I say..."I am a Christian"
I'm not claiming to be perfect,
my flaws are too visible
but God believes I'm worth it.

When I say..."I am a Christian"
I still feel the sting of pain
I have my share of heartaches
which is why I seek His name.

When I say..."I am a Christian"
I do not wish to judge.
I have no authority.
I only know I'm loved.

this is why i had rather discuss religion/behavior over weapons. weapons seem to be at the opposite end of spectrum from life and are quite finite in nature. :lol:

i hope you don't think i was mocking you, i would only encourage you to do what makes you, "metaldoc". i was using "swillisms" to agree with your POV of "metaldoc".

a fellow does not have much choice in picking friends; "birds of a feather flock together" reguardless of their faith/beliefs. so do humans. :usa:
:cool:
