Anyone like Maya Angelou?? I love her poetry...here is one that a friend posted on MySpace and I haven't ever read it before. What she says is the way I feel...I am a Christian...but when I say that...I'm not bragging about who I am...I'm thankful that I'm not who I was.
When I say. . . I am a Christian
Im not shouting Im clean livin.
Im whispering I was lost,
Now Im found and forgiven.
When I say. . . I am a Christian
I dont speak of this with pride.
Im confessing that I stumble
And need Christ to be my guide.
When I say. . . Im a Christian
Im not bragging of success.
Im admitting I have failed
And need God to clean my mess.
When I say. . . I am a Christian
Im 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
Im not holier than thou,
Im just a simple sinner
Who received Gods good grace, somehow!
