Naught have I gotten but what I received

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!

Perhaps a year or two ago, the Lord told me that there are two descriptive words that begin with the letters “EXH“ in English. They can both describe you at the end of the day, depending on what you chose. The words are exhilarated and exhausted. If you trust God‘s grace through your day and receive the abundance of grace, you will reign in life. Everything will seem miraculous and easy, like the doors that opened on their own as PETER was taken out of the jail before he was supposed to be executed by Herod. If you try to do it yourself trying to “be a good Christian“, you will be exhausted. This is also what the Lord means when he says: “not by might nor by power, but by my spirit”. This song with its rhythm, light melody, and exuberant praise of God’s grace seems to have that exact same feeling to it.

Only a sinner saved by grace, this is my story, to God be the glory. Thank You Lord, we are saved by grace! Hallelujah!!

Have been singing this song firmly imprinted on my mind from childhood all day. The truth of the lyrics and chorus bring thankful tears to my eyes. So encouraged to see similar responses from many parts of the world. Oh the joy of sins forgiven!

This wonderful old hymn has been running through my memory this morning. The longer I live, the more I realize just how true the words of this old hymn are for me. I thank God for His unspeakable gift: Salvation through Jesus Christ alone! I've had a long life, and as each day passes, I realize ever more clearly just what a sinner I am and how amazing and beautiful is the grace of my Savior. "What wonderous love is this, O my soul, O my soul!..." I surely am "only a sinner saved by grace..."

these words are going through my mind so often lately; mornings ; or evenings; and I am so thankfull when I do start singing it as I am only a sinner saved by grace: not by works; but my father's grace and love: I pray I love others the same: it is difficult at times; but with God's help it is doable:

God bless everyone stay safe; and healthy

Just reading, ML Jones on Romans 7, this hymn seems to say it all.

Planning to use this song at my husband's funeral. Please pray for the Holy Spirit to draw souls to salvation.

I want to memorise this song. I am only a sinner saved by grace. Naught have I gotten but what I received. Hallelujah praise God for saving me.
