I was sinking deep in sinFar from the peaceful shoreVery deeply stained withinSinking to rise no moreBut the Master of the seaHeard my despairing cryFrom the waters lifted me now safe am ILove lifted me, love lifted meWhen nothing else could helpLove lifted meLove lifted me, love lifted meWhen nothing else could helpLove lifted meAll my heart to Him I giveEver to Him I’ll clingIn His blessed presence liveEver His praises singLove so mighty and so trueMerits my soul’s best songsFaithful, loving service too, to Him belongs
