Only a Sinner
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!
Refrain
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!
Refrain
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!
Refrain
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!
Refrain
Words: James A. Gray, 1905.
The Happy Wonderer ~ ellen b. 
…Ellen, I send wishes for a peaceful Sunday.
Hello Ellen,
Happy Sunday, enjoy your day!
I am not familiar with this hymn. Thanks for sharing. Blessings to you and yours this Father’s Day Sunday.
I have not heard this song, love it. Have a great day.
I cry every time we sing The Old Rugged Cross in church.
Only a Sinner was our Pastor’s favorite hymn and we sing it often!
