119.  A Sinner Like Me

I was once far away from the Savior, And as vile as a sinner could be, I wondered if Christ the Redeemer Could save a poor sinner like me.

2.

I wandered on in the darkness, Not a ray of light I could see, And the thought filled my heart with sadness, There’s no help for a sinner like me.

3.

And then, in that dark, lonely hour, A voice sweetly whispered to me, Saying Christ the Redeemer has power To save a poor sinner like me.

4.

I listened, and lo! ’twas the Savior That was speaking so kindly to me; I cried, “I’m the chief of sinners; Oh, save a poor sinner like me.”

5.

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.

6.

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.

7.

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.
