Saying I'm A Christian
by Barbara Philbrook

When I say I'm a Christian I do so with a shout,
"for I was a prisoner of Sin and now I've been let out".

When I say I'm a Christian if you think I sound proud,
tis because I made the right choice and I'll proclaim it long and loud.

When I say I'm a Christian it's not me that is being strong,
that would be my loving Savior who guides me along.

When I say I'm a Christian I'm not bragging of success,
I'm merely inviting you to share in my happiness.

I had a debt and it was paid for me,
and the same is offered to all who will take it willingly.

When I say I'm a Christian I'm not seeking admiration,
I am just sharing with you the story of salvation.

When I say I'm a Christian it doesn't mean I feel no pain,
I just have the peace that passeth understanding which you too can attain.

When I say I'm a Christian it is in no way a judgement of you,
it is just an invitation because I'd like to spend eternity with you.

When I say I'm a Christian the one response I wish from you,
is for you to smile and say "I'm a Christian Too".

Yes I am a Christian a part of God's loving family,
I'd like to invite all who will listen to come and join with us for eternity.
