LYRICS
| 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,
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.
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!
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!
v]
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!
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!
