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!

 

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]
