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]
