If you could see what I once was

If you could go with me

Back to where I started from

Then I know you would see

A miracle of love that took me in its sweet embrace

And made me what I am today

Just an old sinner saved by grace.



I'm just a sinner saved by grace

When I stood condemned to death

He took my place

Now I live and breathe in freedom with each breath of life I take

Loved and forgiven

Back with the living

I'm just a sinner saved by grace



How could I boast of anything I've ever seen or done?

How could I dare to claim as mine the vict'ries God has won?

Where would I be had God not brought me gently to this place?

I'm here to say I'm nothing but a sinner saved by grace



I'm just a sinner saved by grace

When I stood condemned to death

He took my place

Now I live and breathe in freedom with each breath of life I take

Loved and forgiven

Back with the living

I'm just a sinner saved by grace
