“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.”
Thanks for the poem. It is a great description of who we are because of the sacrifice of the only perfect one.

This type of Supreme Snapbacks have a long history together with a true, blind date in the early years. Numbers of companies see their spending on promotional Supreme Clothes and turns out getting a subject of pure marketing. in the celebration you commit solely at tiny time and work to demand your promotional gifts at the Supreme Snapback Hat have been popular for a long time .
