I Was Once Far Away From The Savior,
As Vile As A Sinner Could Be,
And I Wondered If Christ The Redeemer
Could Save A Poor Sinner Like Me.
I Wandered On In The Darkness,
Not A Ray Of Light Could I See;
And The Thought Filled My Heart With Sadness,
“There’s No Hope For A Sinner Like Me.”
And Then, In That Dark, Lonely Hour,
A Voice Sweetly Whispered To Me
That Christ The Redeemer Has Power
To Save A Poor Sinner Like Me.
I Listened—And Lo! ’Twas The Savior
That Was Speaking So Kindly To Me;
I Cried, “I’m The Chief Of Sinners;
Thou Canst Save A Poor Sinner Like Me!”
I Then Fully Trusted In Jesus;
And, Oh, What A Joy Came To Me!
My Heart Was Filled With His Praises
For Saving A Sinner Like Me.
No Longer In Darkness I’m Walking,
For The Light Is Now Shining On Me,
And Now Unto Others I’m Telling
How He Saved A Poor 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.
