I'm changing everyday, but in a way that most people despise. I'm growing up and after 27 years of acting like a child it is indeed time for me to do so. I walk this earth awaiting my final moment. Trying with every ounce of me to do what is right. I suffer more than i would like to, but I know that everyone's live's have trials and tribulations. Although, me on the other hand, I don't have the ability to sugar coat my problems with materialistic objects. I don't need the fanciest car, the newest kicks, and the most expensive gear to know that I am blessed. That's what I have my daughters for. I am not saying I am better than anyone; no, all I'm saying is I am an extremely humble person. I read the bible daily and go to church regularly, but that doesn't make me a christian or any Godlier than anyone. It's just what I like to do. Some people may assume I am a hypercrit, but keep in mind being a christian doesn't mean I am perfect. It means a lot more than that. And I have yet to let go of secular music...


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!
