I was once far away from the Savior,
and as vile as a sinner could be,
I wondered if Christ, the Redeemer, would save
a poor sinner like me.
I wandered on in the darkness, not a
ray of light could I see, and a
thought filled my heart with sadness, there's no
hope for a sinner like me.
And then, in that dark, lonely hour, a
voice whispered sweetly to me, saying, Christ, the
Redeemer has power to save a poor sinner
like thee.
I then fully trusted in Jesus, and oh,
what a joy it came to me.
My heart was filled with His praises for
saving a sinner like me.
And when life's journey is over, and I,
the dear Savior, shall see, I'll praise Him
forever and ever for saving a sinner like
me.
