Lyrics
Love Lifted Me
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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.
Love lifted me! Even me
Love lifted me! Even me
When nothing else could help,
Love lifted me!
All my heart to Him I'll 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.
Love lifted me! Even me
Love lifted me! Even me
When nothing else could help,
Love lifted me!
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 Saviour wants to be -
Love lifted me! Even me
Love lifted me! Even me
When nothing else could help,
Love lifted me!
