I'm a Poor Sinner

Ada R. Habershon • English

Primary Scripture: Colossians 3:2

Verse 1

So weary am I, but the Lord can give rest; So needy, but coming to Him I am blest; I’m blind, but the Saviour can give to me light; By guilt I am stained, but He maketh me white.

Chorus

Yes! I’m a poor sinner and nothing at all, But Jesus my Saviour is my All in all, Yes! I’m a poor sinner and nothing at all, But Jesus my Saviour is my All in all.

Verse 2

I’m sinful, but He can my sin put away; In debt, but my debts He most freely doth pay; So thirsty my soul, but He gives me to drink; So poor, yet He grants me e’en more than I think.

Chorus

Yes! I’m a poor sinner and nothing at all, But Jesus my Saviour is my All in all, Yes! I’m a poor sinner and nothing at all, But Jesus my Saviour is my All in all.

Verse 3

I’m restless and troubled—He gives me His peace; Tho’ cold is my heart, yet His love will ne’er cease; I’m foolish, He calls me to learn at His feet, I’m lonely, He gives me His fellowship sweet.

Chorus

Yes! I’m a poor sinner and nothing at all, But Jesus my Saviour is my All in all, Yes! I’m a poor sinner and nothing at all, But Jesus my Saviour is my All in all.

Verse 4

Though naught I deserve, yet I’m saved by His grace, Tho’ hopeless and helpless He took up my case, I’m lost without Him, but my Saviour is He; I’m nothing at all but He’s all things to me.

Chorus

Yes! I’m a poor sinner and nothing at all, But Jesus my Saviour is my All in all, Yes! I’m a poor sinner and nothing at all, But Jesus my Saviour is my All in all.
