When I say I am a Christian

This is a poem that one of my Christian friend read to me

When i heard it, I just felt so powerful, i don't know if it is a well-known one, just feel like really want to share.. I guess that's how my friend felt when she read to me.. the poem makes you want to share the emotion with others. I could feel how proud the poet is, even when he/she says No, it's the faith, and it's a kind of nature. 

 

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,
