188. I Was Sinking Deep in Sin (Love Lifted Me)

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.
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 true will be: be saved today. [Refrain]
