I was sinking deep in sin,

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.

Love lifted me ! Love lifted me

When nothing else could help, love lifted me

Love lifted me ! Love lifted me

When nothing else would 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.

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 wants to be - be saved today.
