Verse 1

I was sink-ing deep in sin, Far from the peaceful shore,

Ver-y deep-ly stained with-in, sink-ing to rise no more,

But the Mas-ter of the sea Heard my de-spair-ing cry,

From the wa-ters lift-ed me, Now safe am I.

Chorus

Love lift-ed me! Lord lift-ed me!

When noth-ing else could help, Love lift-ed me.

Love lift-ed me! Lord lift-ed me!

When noth-ing else could help, Love lift-ed

me.

Verse 2

All my heart to him I give, Ev-er to him I’ll cling,

In his bless-ed pres-ence live, Ev-er his prais-es sing,

Love so might-y and so true Mer-its my soul’s best songs,

Faith-ful, lov-ing ser-vice, too, To him be-longs.

Verse 3

Souls in dan-ger, look a-bove, Je-sus com-plete-ly saves,

He will lift you by his love Out of the an-gry waves,

He’s the Mas-ter of the sea, Bil-lows his will o-bey,

He your Sav-ior wants to be, Be saved to-day.
