That is a great perspective. If only those not knowing God would see us as 
such.

Christians - By Maya Angelou



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!

Can you imagine what a scarcity of news there would be If everybody obeyed

I would rather live my life as if there is a God, and die to find out 
there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't, and die to find out 
there is
