50. 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,
Nnow safe am I.

Chorus:
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. [Chorus]

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. [Chorus]
