- 1I was sinking deep in sin,Far from the peaceful shore,Very deeply stained within,Sinking to rise no more;But the Master of the seaHeard 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 helpLove lifted me!Love lifted me! (even me!)Love lifted me! (even me!)When nothing else could helpLove lifted me!
- 2All 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 trueMerits 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 helpLove lifted me!Love lifted me! (even me!)Love lifted me! (even me!)When nothing else could helpLove lifted me!
- 3Souls in danger, look above,Jesus completely saves;He will lift you by His loveOut of the angry waves.He’s the Master of the sea,Billows His will obey;He your Savior wants to be, be saved today.Love lifted me! (even me!)Love lifted me! (even me!)When nothing else could helpLove lifted me!Love lifted me! (even me!)Love lifted me! (even me!)When nothing else could helpLove lifted me!
