~ I'm A Christian ~



I'm a Christian and I'm forgiven
I'm all for God and good clean livin'
But up on a throne I'm not
I leave that space for God


I take care of myself
My own mistakes
I leave my neighbors
In God's Grace


We all fall short
Of the Glory of God
Our only "Good"
Is His Son's Blood





How can we judge
The sins of another
How can we withdraw
Our love from a brother


God doesn't condemn me
Nor does He condemn you
He says to love
So that's what I'll do


We all have flaws
We all come "as is"
But when we turn to Him
We then become His





He will change us in His time
He will help us to grow
He will one day make us perfect
It's a promise you know


Until the day I die
He will work on me
And the finished product
He will accept with glee


But He can't help me
If I take over His throne
And keep myself busy
Condemning His own
