Christians



by Maya Angelou

"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!
