Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

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 could 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

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

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
