I was once far away from the Savior, And as vile as a sinner could be; 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 tho't filled my heart with sadness, There's no help 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 me. 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. 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 for ever and ever, For saving a sinner like me! - Charles J. Butler, 1881 "This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief" (1 Tim. 1:15).
