Yoink!

I saw this poem on someone else's blog and I liked it so I yoinked it. My lazy dog is drooling all over my couch. Blech. Anyway, here ya go.

"I'm A Christian" 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.
