This hymn has a unique tune

 

 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!

 

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!

 

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!

 

 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!

 

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!

 

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!
