I Was Once Far Away From The Saviour
And 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,
Saying, ‘Christ The Redeemer Has Power
To Save A Poor Sinner Like Thee.’
I Listened: And Lo! It Was The Saviour
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 Saviour Shall See,
I Will Praise Him For Ever And Ever,
For Saving A Sinner Like Me. ……
