[I was once far away from the Saviour]
A Sinner Like Me
Author: C. J. B. Appears in 132 hymnals Hymnal Title: Christ in Song First Line: I was once far away from the Saviour Lyrics: 1 I was once far away from the Saviour,
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 could I see,
And the tho't 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
Who 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 Saviour shall see,
I'll praise him for ever and ever,
For saving a sinner like me. Topics: Invitation and Repentance; Invitation and Repentance Call Accepted; Living His Life Joy of Salvation; Special Selections Solos Used With Tune: [I was once far away from the Saviour]
