NAUGHT HAVE I GOTTEN
English Lyrics
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! 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! 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! Suffer a sinner whose heart overflows, Loving his Saviour, to tell what he knows; Once more to tell it, would I embrace I’m only a sinner saved by grace
