Naught have I gotten but what I received;

| 1. | 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! |
| 2. | 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! |
| 3. | 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! |
| 4. | 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! |
