I was once far away from the
Savior I was as vile as a sinner could be 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 help for a sinner
like me 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. I listened and it was the Savior
who was speaking so kindly to me. I cried, I'm the chief of
the sinners. Oh, 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
