Sometimes its sink or swim
And I've been treading water
I should have expected the flood
But floating never has been easy for me
You caught me carefree
And You called me like you saw me, ah...a sinner.
And I said five wits, looks and strength
I don't think are much in the way of companions
And good deeds couldn't pay me account
Not kinsmen or knowledge stand
The trial of every man..oh no
Don't call me every man...
Call me Christian, ...call me Christian
Call me Christian, ...call me Christian.
Intro 1X (2nd part of lead guitar)
I've looked on the evergreen
And I've seen it constantly grow and show us life
And I want to live eternally
I want to be an imitation of Christ
I want to be a little Christ.
As a boy I'd put my steps
In my brother's bigger tracks
To match his stride
And just like that I'll follow Jesus
Jesus is my guide.
Chorus 2X (With background vocals only singing...
"I am in You, You are in me, hajeluiah.")
