Beautiful Christian Sister

By: Maya Angelou


*'A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ*
*that a man should have to seek Him first to find her.'*
*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!'*
