Text: | Naught Have I Gotten |
Author: | James M. Gray |
Tune: | ONLY A SINNER |
Composer: | D. B. Towner |
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! [Chorus]
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]
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! [Chorus]
