A Sinner Like Me Lyrics

by Charles J. Butler

I was once far away from the Savior,

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

That Christ the Redeemer has power

To save a poor sinner like me. 



I listened—and lo! ’twas the Savior

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 Savior shall see,

I’ll praise Him forever and ever

For saving a sinner like me.
