I was sinking deep in sin far from a peaceful shore Very deeply stained within sinking to rise no more But the Master of the sea heard my despairing cry From the water lifted me now safe am I 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 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, love lifted me When nothing else could help, love lifted me Souls in danger, look up above, Jesus completely saves He will lift you by His love out of an angry wave He's the Master of the sea, billows His will obey He's your Savior wants to be, be saved today Love lifted me, love lifted me When nothing else could help, love lifted me
