Author: James Rowe Hymnal: Revival Gems No. 2 #33 (1927) First Line: In the awful sea of sin Refrain First Line: The Lord raised me, the Lord raised me Lyrics: 1 In the awful sea of sin
I was sinking fast;
There were many stains within
From my sinful past;
But I looked to Him above,
Made a dying plea,
And His mighty hand of love
Reached down for me.
Refrain:
The Lord raised me, the Lord raised me,
Whispered comfort to my soul and made me free;
The Lord raised me, the Lord raised me;
When light had fled and hope was dead
The Lord raised me.
2 On the peaceful shore today
Praises glad I sing;
Sinful days have passed away,
To the Lord I cling;
In His holy light I dwell,
Pure and sweet and free,
While to all the world I tell
How He raised me. [Refrain]
3 Soul adrift, the waves roll high,
Breakers are ahead;
To the blessed Savior cry,
Ere your hope is dead;
Nothing better you can do,
Saved from death to be;
He alone can rescue you,
For He raised me. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [In the awful sea of sin]
The Lord Raised Me
