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!
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!
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 alarm'd me, fearing God's face;
But now I'm a sinner saved by grace!
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!
