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!
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!
Only a sinner saved by grace!
This is my story, to God be the glory,
I’m only a sinner saved by grace!

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!
Causing my footsteps from God to depart;
Jesus hath found me, happy my case;
I now am a sinner saved by grace!

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!
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!

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!
Loving his Savior to tell what he knows;
Once more to tell it, would I embrace—
I’m only a sinner saved by grace!

This wonderful old hymn has been running through my memory this morning. The longer I live, the more I realize just how true the words of this old hymn are for me. I thank God for His unspeakable gift: Salvation through Jesus Christ alone! I've had a long life, and as each day passes, I realize ever more clearly just what a sinner I am and how amazing and beautiful is the grace of my Savior. "What wonderous love is this, O my soul, O my soul!..." I surely am "only a sinner saved by grace..."

these words are going through my mind so often lately; mornings ; or evenings; and I am so thankfull when I do start singing it as I am only a sinner saved by grace: not by works; but my father's grace and love: I pray I love others the same: it is difficult at times; but with God's help it is doable:
God bless everyone stay safe; and healthy

That's who I am – Only a sinner saved by Grace.
Sometimes I forget the glory of his grace and am tempted to cheapen it, but this song reminds me.
I pray for more of God's sanctifying grace for myself and all who know His salvation. AMEN
