Full Lyrics
VERSE 1
Naught have I gotten but what I received;
Grace hath bestow'd it since I have believed;
Boasting excluded, pride I abase;
I'm only a sinner saved by grace!
VERSE 2
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!
VERSE 3
Tears unavailing, no merit had I;
Mercy had saved me, or else I must die;
Sin had alarm'd me, fearing God's face;
But now I'm a sinner saved by grace!
VERSE 4
Suffer a sinner whose heart overflows,
Loving his Saviour, to tell what He knows;
Once more to tell it, would I embrace
I'm only a sinner saved by grace!
CHORUS
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!
