Hi. My mum recieved this E-mail a while back, and I was just wondering how other people feel about it. I personally think it's great.

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 I'm 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 you
I'm just a simple sinner
who received God's good grace, somehow.
