Sinner Saved by Grace

I grew up on Southern Gospel music, particularly The Cathedral Quartet and many others of that generation. As I set up my profile, and type the words 'sinner saved by grace', I can not help but think of this song. Very few times in my life has that phrase escaped me lips when it was not following by these lyrics coming to memory.

While Bill and Gloria Gaither wrote the song, and many have sung it, the voices that play in my head are these... George Younce and Glen Payne. It was based on the life of George and I believe that the recordings of him singing always will carry the most significance.

Sinner Saved by Grace

If you could see what I once was
If u could go with me
Back to where I started from
Then, I know you would see
A miracle of Love that took me
in it's sweet embrace
and made me what I am today
an old sinner Saved by grace

Chorus:
I'm just a sinner, Saved by grace
when I stood condemned to death
He took my place
Now I live and breathe in freedom
with each breath of life I take
loved and forgivin
backed with The living
I'm just a sinner, Saved by grace

How could I boast of anything
I've ever seen or done
how could I dare to claim as mine
the victories GOD has won
where would I be had GOD not brought me
safely to this place
I'm here to say I'm nothing but
a sinner saved by grace

Chorus:
I'm just a sinner, Saved by grace
when I stood condemned to death
He took my place
Now I live and breathe in freedom
with each breath of life I take
loved and forgivin

backed with the living
I'm just a sinner, Saved by grace

Now I live and breathe in freedom
with each breath of life I take
loved and forgivin
backed with a living
I'm just a sinner
Saved by grace
Saved by grace
