I'm A Christian
by
May 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!

我是一个基督徒

当我说我是一个基督徒

我不是高喊”我生活圣洁”

我在轻语”我曾走失,

但现在被找回, 被原谅”

当我说我是一个基督徒

我不是带着骄傲

我承认我跌跘

需要基督引领前行的路

当我说我是一个基督徒

我不用故作坚强

我知道我软弱

需要主的能力带我走过

当我说我是一个基督徒

我不是吹嘘自己很成功

我是承认我曾失败

需要主为我收残局

当我说我是一个基督徒

我不是宣称我完美无缺

我的缺点显而易见

但神相信我配得

当我说我是一个基督徒

我仍然会感到伤痛

但当我内心忧伤

我就呼求主名

当我说我是一个基督徒

我并不是比人圣洁

我只是一个罪人

蒙主恩
