-- When I Say "I Am A Christian" (当我说我是基督徒时) --

By Carol Wimmer

When I say..."I am a Christian"
I'm not shouting "I am saved"
I'm whispering "I get lost!"
"That is why I chose this way."

When I say..."I am a Christian"
don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble
and need someone 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 pray for strength to carry on.

When I say..."I am a Christian"
I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed
and cannot ever pay the debt.

When I say..."I am a Christian"
I'm not claiming to be perfect,
my flaws are too visible
but God believes I'm worth it.

When I say..."I am a Christian"
I still feel the sting of pain
I have my share of heartaches
which is why I seek His name.

When I say..."I am a Christian"
I do not wish to judge.
I have no authority.
I only know I'm loved.

当我说我是基督徒时
我并不是在叫喊 "我是得救的"
而是在低声倾诉"我曾经迷失过,
所以我选择了这条路"

当我说我是基督徒时
并不是因为我觉得高人一等
而是承认我一直在蹒跚而行所以我需要一位生命的向导

当我说我是基督徒时
我并不是在炫耀我很强壮
而是在承认自己的软弱
所以我祈求继续前进的力量

当我说我是基督徒时
我并不是在吹嘘我的成功
而是在承认自己的失败并且我没有能力偿还所背负的债

当我说我是基督徒时我并不是在宣称我是完美的
而是让你看到我生命中的瑕疵是这么的明显
但主相信我是有价值的

当我说我是基督徒时
我还是会感到心痛如针刺
但我有主来分担我的痛苦
所以我会继续寻求他的名

当我说我是基督徒时
我并不是在评断你
因为我没有那样的权柄
我只知道我是被爱着的
