Smalltown Poets - Call Me Christian lyrics

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: Oh, 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 Call me Christian Call me Christian 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 Call me Christian Call me Christian Call me Christian Call me Christian As a boy I'd put my steps In my bigger brother's tracks To match his stride And just like that I'll follow Jesus Jesus is my guide Call me Christian Call me Christian Call me Christian Call me Christian
