505. Love Lifted Me

1 I was sinking deep in sin,
Far from the peaceful shore,
Very deeply stained within,
Sinking to rise no more;
But the Master of the sea
Heard my despairing cry,
From the waters lifted me,
Now safe am I.

Refrain:
Love lifted me! Love lifted me!
When nothing else could help,
Love lifted me!
Love lifted me! Love lifted me!
When nothing else could help,
Love lifted me!

2 All my heart to Him I give,
Ever to Him I'll cling,
In His blessed presence live,
Ever His praises sing;
Love so mighty and so true,
Merits my soul's best songs;
Faithful loving service, too,
To Him belongs. [Refrain]

3 Souls in danger, look above;
Jesus completely saves;
He will lift you by His love
Out of the angry waves;
He's the Master of the sea,
Billows His will obey;
He your Savior wants to be,
Be saved today. [Refrain]
