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! All my heart to Him I give, ever to Him I'll cling In His blessèd 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 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
