When I Say I'm Christian
by Carol S. Wimmer

When I say..."I am a Christian"
I'm not shouting "I am saved"
I'm whispering "I was lost"
That is why I chose this way.
當我說我是基督徒時

我不是在說 “我被拯救了”

我是在說 “我是迷失的”

所以我才選這條路

When I say..."I am a Christian"
I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble
And need someone to be my guide.
當我說我是基督徒時

我並不是在炫耀

我是在承認我會跌倒

並且需要有人帶領我

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.
當我說我是基督徒時

我不是在逞強

我是在承認我是軟弱的

並且祈禱有力量

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.
當我說我是基督徒時

我不是在炫耀勝利

我是在承認我失敗了

而沒辦法還債

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

當我說我是基督徒時

我不是在說我是完美的

我的缺陷太明顯

但主知道我是值得的

When I say..."I am a Christian"
I still feel the sting of pain
I have my share of heartaches
Which is why I speak His name.
當我說我是基督徒時

我仍然會感到痛

我也會悲傷

所以我宣揚祂的名

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

當我說我是基督徒時

我並不想要審判

我沒有權利

我只知道我是被愛的
