Happy Sunday
🎶 Only a Sinner 🎶
Lyrics: James Martin Gray (1851-1935)
Music: Daniel Brink Towner (1850-1919)
1. Naught have I gotten but what I received;
Grace hath bestowed it since I have believed;
Boasting excluded, pride I abase;
I’m only a sinner saved by grace!
Chorus
Only a sinner saved by grace!
Only a sinner saved by grace!
This is my story, to God be the glory,
I’m only a sinner saved by grace!
2. Once I was foolish, and sin ruled my heart,
Causing my footsteps from God to depart;
Jesus hath found me, happy my case;
I now am a sinner saved by grace!
3. Tears unavailing, no merit had I;
Mercy had saved me, or else I must die;
Sin had alarmed me, fearing God’s face;
But now I’m a sinner saved by grace!
4. Suffer a sinner whose heart overflows,
Loving his Savior to tell what he knows;
Once more to tell it, would I embrace—
I’m only a sinner saved by grace!

📖 Luke 18: 9 - 13 📖
And he spake this parable
unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous,
and despised others:
Two men went up into the temple to pray;
the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself,
God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are,
extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
I fast twice in the week,
I give tithes of all that I possess.
And the publican, standing afar off,
would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven,
but smote upon his breast, saying,
God be merciful to me a sinner.
A Blessed Sunday to all.
Jesus Love You

Hey Karen. I've never heard that Hymn. The words are beautiful. I also love the parable about the publican and the Pharisee. My daughter and her husband moved to a little town in WV called Hedgesville. My granddaughter and her new husband live near Harpers Ferry. That's where he is from. She is teaching school there and Hunter is a dentist. Had his first patient last Monday. I sure hated to see Andee and Todd move away.
Beautiful skies!
A beautiful sky.
