Only a Sinner
words: James M. Gray
music: Daniel B. Towner
Background music: Joyful Noise Music
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!
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 alarmed me, fearing God's face;
But now I'm 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!
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!
