Author: James Rowe, 1865-1933 Hymnal: African American Heritage Hymnal #504 (2001) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.4 with refrain First Line: I was sinking deep in sin Refrain First Line: Love lifted even me Lyrics: 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 even me,
Love lifted even me,
When nothing else could help,
Love lifted me;
Love lifted even me,
Love lifted even 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] Topics: God His Faithfulness; God Love and Mercy; Jesus Christ His Glory and Power; Jesus Christ His Love and Mercy; Testimony, Witness and Evangelism Scripture: Isaiah 63:9 Languages: English Tune Title: SAFETY
