Lyrics
I’m A Sinner
© 2010 Lyrics by Van Whitaker & Stan Loh; Music by Stan Loh
Verse 1
I used to rob and steal, from any one,
Regardless who I hurt, my law the gun,
I was society’s scourge,
The type you like to purge,
From the face of the earth, that’s who I was,
I was a sinner,
A two-time gunner,
But somehow I was saved,
Somehow He forgave,
Now I can see His face, feel His Grace, His embrace,
He’s made me stronger,
A straight line walker,
Oh in a nick of time,
He came and made me fine.
Verse 2
Now I’m a simple man, not seeking fame,
I have no gifts to give, or deeds to claim,
He holds my shaky hand,
Make jewels from grains of sand,
He walks on water, I stumble on land,
But I’m a winner,
From a hardened sinner,
Cause I’ve been saved by Grace,
And I have seen His face,
Yes I have seen His face, felt His Grace, His embrace,
He’s made me conquer,
The fearsome Lucifer,
So when in troubled times,
I pray and I’ll be fine.
Weaned all my shame,
I’m proud again.
My past a living shame,
But saved by Jesus’ name.
Yes I’m a sinner,
Oh I’m a sinner,
