Only a Sinner

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!
