1. 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!
(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!
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!
(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!
4. 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!
