I Was Once Far Away From The Saviour,
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, Look Unto Me ! I Have Power
To Save A Poor Sinner Like Thee.

I Listened And Lo ! ‘Twas The Saviour
That Was Speaking So Kindly To Me ;
And I Cried, I’m The Chief Of Sinners ;
Canst Thou Save A Poor Sinner Like Me?

I Then Fully Trusted In Jesus ;
And Oh, Now 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,
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’ll Praise Him For Ever And Ever,
For Saving A Sinner Like Me !
