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, 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!

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

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!
