Paul, the apostle, helped to write this song. He called himself the ‘greatest of sinners’… Sinner
Number One. 1 Timothy 1:15-16 But Paul was certain, as we can be certain, that Jesus loves us
all, whoever we are, whatever we’ve done.
Once I was covered by a dirty layer of sin.
Boy, did I need a clean-up on the outside and within.
I didn’t look too good, now, with the bad things that I’d done
and the good things I hadn’t got around to doin’
I was sinner number one.
Refrain
But Jesus died to wash away my sin
And now I’m clean.
Jesus died to wash away my sin,
And now I’m clean.
Now I’m walkin’ with Jesus I still fall down
In the mud and in the dirt I lie helpless on the ground.
But all I need to tell him is that I’ve fallen down again
And He’s right there to pick me up and wash me clean.
Refrain
