Only a Sinner by James M. Gray
Naught have I gotten but what I received.
Grace hath bestowed it, and I have believed.
Boasting excluded, pride I abase,
I'm only a sinner saved by grace!
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 by heart,
Causing my footsteps from God to depart.
Jesus hath found me, happy my case,
I now am a sinner saved by grace!
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!
Tears unavailing, no merit had I.
Mercy had saved me, or else I must die.
Foes had alarmed me, fearing God's face,
But now I'm a sinner saved by grace!
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!
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!
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!

Hey David. Welcome to bloging! What a beautiful hymn. We don't sing it very often at our church, but I think that the words are just beautiful. I sure wish I could write like that!
