| When I say..."I am a Christian"
- author unknown
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.

TO DARE
- author unknown
To laugh is to risk appearing the fool.
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.
To each for another is to risk involvement.
To expose your ideas, your dreams,
Before a crowd is to risk their loss.
To love is to risk not being loved in return.
To live is to risk dying.
To believe is to risk failure.
But risks must be taken,
Because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.
They may avoid suffering and sorrow,
But they cannot learn, feel, change, grow, love, live.
Chained by their attitudes, they are slaves;
They have forfeited their freedom.
Only a person who risks is free. | | |
