J. M. Gray

P.M.

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!

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!

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!

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!
