Text Based On Romans Chapter 6 (KJV)
But if, while we seek to be justified by
Christ, we ourselves also are found
sinners, is therefore Christ the minister
of sin? God forbid.

Towner v3/Bb
ONLY A SINNER
1. 
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!
Refrain
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!
2.
Once I was foolish, 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!
Refrain
3.
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!
Refrain
