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!
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!
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 my heart,
Causing my footsteps from God to depart;
Jesus hath found me, happy my case;
I now am a sinner saved by grace!
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!
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!
Loving his Savior to tell what he knows;
Once more to tell it, would I embrace—
I’m only a sinner saved by grace!

I really enjoyed singing and listening to this hymn. Recently I read the note from the writings of John: John 8: 3, and 1 John 1:
The one who is without sin - the Lord
The one who is qualified to condemn sin - the Lord
The one who is qualified to forgive sin - the Lord
The one who is able to set people free from sin - the Lord
The Lord is the self-existing, and ever-existing God, the great I AM, who was lifted up on the cross, to draw all man to Himself.
The eternal God, came into us to be life and light to deliver us from the bondage and darkness of sin (NT Recovery Version p. 403).
Amen, what can I say but saying, "I am only a sinner saved by Grace
This is my story, to God be the glory!".

What a wonderful experience to know - He hath made Him [to be] sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. 2 Cor. 5:21

Only a sinner saved by grace. While we were yet sinners Christ died for us and saved us by His wonderful grace! Praise God!

These classic hymns stir the soul, revitalize the inner man, inspire godliness and impart strength for the journey. We need to be singing hymns in our churches like this every week! They will produce changed lives.
