Naught have I gotten but what I received

Naught have I gotten but what I received;

Grace hath bestowed it since I have believed;

Boasting excluded

pride I abase;

I’m only a sinner saved by grace!

Only a sinner saved by grace!

Only a sinner saved by grace!

This is my story

to God be the glory

I’m only a sinner saved by grace!

Once I was foolish

and sin ruled my heart

Causing my footsteps from God to depart;

Jesus hath found me

happy my case;

I now am a sinner saved by grace!

Tears unavailing

no merit had I;

Mercy had saved me

or else I must die;

Sin had alarmed me

fearing God’s face;

But now I’m a sinner saved by grace!

Suffer a sinner whose heart overflows

Loving his Savior to tell what he knows;

Once more to tell it

would I embrace—

I’m only a sinner saved by grace!
