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.’
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!
