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.
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]
