Sometimes it's 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: 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 my account

Not kinsmen nor knowledge stand

The trial of every man

Don't call me every man





Call me Christian

(I am in You, You are in me, I am in You)

Call me Christian

(I am in You, You are in me, I am in You)

Call me Christian





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 follow Jesus

Jesus is my guide.
