Music by James Rowe and Howard E. Smith
[Verse 1]
A E
I was sinking deep in sin, far from the peaceful shore,
D A
Very deeply stained within, sinking to rise no more.
A D
But the Master of the sea heard my despairing cry,
A E A
From the waters lifted me, now safe am I.
[Chorus]
A
Love lifted me! Love lifted me!
D A
When nothing else could help,
B E7
Love lifted me.
[Verse 2]
A E
All my heart to Him I give, ever to Him I'll cling,
D A
In His blessed presence live, ever His praises sing.
A D
Love so mighty and so true merits my soul's best songs;
A E A
Faithful, loving service too, to Him belongs.
[Chorus]
A
Love lifted me! Love lifted me!
D A
When nothing else could help,
B E7
Love lifted me.
[Verse 3]
A E
Souls in danger, look above, Jesus completely saves;
D A
He will lift you by His love out of the angry waves.
A D
He's the Master of the sea, Billows His will obey;
A E A
He you Saviour wants to be-be saved today.
[Chorus]
A
Love lifted me! Love lifted me!
D A
When nothing else could help,
A E7 A
Love lifted me.
