1 Naught have I gotten but what I received;
Grace hath bestowed it since I have believed;
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;
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;
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;
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!
