'twas the Savior Who was speaking so kindly to me; I cried, I'm the chief of sinners, Oh, save a poor sinner like me. 5 I then fully trusted in Jesus, And, oh, what a joy came to me! My heart was filled with his praises, For saving a sinner like me. 6 No longer in darkness I'm walking, For the light is now shining on me, And now unto others I'm telling How he saved a poor sinner like me. 7 And when life's journey is over, And I the dear Saviour shall see, I'll praise him for ever and ever, For saving a sinner like me.
