Default I Am A Christian

I ran across this poem a while back...thought it had merit.
Joe
__________________________

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.

Thanks for the Post. It reminds me of the song Stain Glass Masquerade.
Here is the chorus and a verse of the song.....

Are we happy plastic people under shiny plastic steeples with walls around our weekness and smiles to hide our pain.
Well if the invitations open to every heart that has been broken
Maybe then we'll close the curtain on this stain glass masquerade

Is there anyone whose been there? Are there any hands to raise? Am I the only one whose traded in the altar for a stage? The performance is convincing we know every line by heart only when no one is watching can we really fall apart. Would it set me free if I dare to let you see the truth behind the person you imagine me to be? Would your arms be open or would you walk away? Would the love of Jesus be enough to make you stay?

CHORUS
