336. I was sinking deep in sin

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 no one but Christ could help,
Love lifted me.

2 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.

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 Saviour wants to be,
Be saved today.
