The song tells the story of a sinner who was saved by God's grace. It describes how the sinner was embraced and transformed by a miracle of God's love, and is now forgiven and able to live freely as a result of Jesus taking his place and dying for his sins. The sinner acknowledges that without God's grace and intervention in his life, he would not be where he is today.

1. Sinner Saved by Grace
By Gaither Vocal Band

2. If you could see what I was once
If you could go with me
Back to where I started from
Then I know you would see

3. A miracle of love that put me
in its sweet embrace
and made me what I am today
just an old sinner saved by grace

4. I’m just a sinner
Saved by grace
When I stood condemned to death
He took my place

5. Now I grow and breathe in freedom
With each breath of life I take
loved and forgiven backed with a livin’
I'm just a sinner saved by grace

6. How could I boast on anything
I've ever seen or done
how could I dare to claim as mine
the victories God has won

7. Where would I be
had God not brought me gently to this place
I'm here to say
I'm nothing but a sinner saved by grace

8. I’m just a sinner
Saved by grace
when I stood condemned to death
He took my place

9. Now I grow and breathe in freedom
With each breath of life I take
loved and forgiven backed with a livin’
I'm just a sinner saved by grace

10. Now I grow and breathe in freedom
With each breath of life I take
loved and forgiven backed with a livin’
I'm just a sinner saved by grace

11. Saved by grace.
