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!

我是一個基督徒

當我說我是一個基督徒

我不是高喊”我生活聖潔”

我在輕語”我曾走失,

但現在被找回, 被原諒”

當我說我是一個基督徒

我不是帶着驕傲

我承認我跌跘

需要基督引領前行的路

當我說我是一個基督徒

我不用故作堅強

我知道我軟弱

需要主的能力帶我走過

當我說我是一個基督徒

我不是吹噓自己很成功

我是承認我曾失敗

需要主為我收殘局

當我說我是一個基督徒

我不是宣稱我完美無缺

我的缺點顯而易見

但神相信我配得

當我說我是一個基督徒

我仍然會感到傷痛

但當我內心憂傷

我就呼求主名

當我說我是一個基督徒

我並不是比人聖潔

我只是一個罪人

蒙主恩
