Love lifted me, love lifted me

Author: James Rowe (1865-1933) Appears in 272 hymnals First Line: I was sinking deep in sin Lyrics: 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. Topics: The gospel Witness
