When I say, "I am a Christian" by Carol Wimmer

When I say, “I am a Christian”
I’m not shouting, “I’ve been saved!”
I’m whispering, “I get lost!
That’s why I chose this way”

When I say, “I am a Christian”
I don’t speak with human pride
I’m confessing that I stumble -
needing God 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 that I’ve failed
and cannot ever pay the debt

When I say, “I am a Christian”
I don’t think I know it all
I submit to my confusion
asking humbly to be taught

When I say, “I am a Christian”
I’m not claiming to be perfect
My flaws are far 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 heartache
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

We have to give up what we can’t keep, to gain what we can’t lose.

Jesus said, “For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me and for the gospel will save it” -Mark 8:35

Dancing with Jesus by Angela L. Fischesser


Dance with me, He pleads.

Dance within my light,

Feel the warmth, the delight.

Let me lead just follow.

I will not run you astray.

Simply follow me, all your days.

I will guide your feet along the read

That lifts you up, that leads you home.

All you need to do is simply dance,

Dance with me,

Follow my steps,

Follow my lead,

Let me be your guide,

Lovingly living with you

By you side.

Just take my hand,

I'll hold you close.

Together we will dance,

Together down this road.
