Author: J. W. P. Hymnal: Favorites Number 4 #2 (1956) First Line: I was a sinner all covered with shame Lyrics: I was a sinner all covered with shame,
Lost and defiled with no merit to claim,
Somehow God loved me in spite of my sin—
Saved me, redeemed me and cleansed me within.
Refrain:
God did a wonderful thing for me,
One glorious happy day,
God did a wonderful thing for me,
When He took all my sin away.
Could I forget it—that wonderful time
When I was saved? ‘twas a moment sublime!
All through life's journey I'll sing of His love,
Someday I'll tell it to angels above. [Refrain]
Numberless blessings He since has bestowed,
Mercies from Heaven like rivers have flowed;
So many wonderful things He has done,
And, praise His name, He has only begun! [Refrain]
