I was sinking deep in sin, far from the peaceful shore
Hymn Text
Verse 1
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, now safe I am.
Love lifted me (even me),
When nothing else could help
Love lifted me.

Verse 2
All my heart to Him I give, ever to Him 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 (even me),
When nothing else could help
Love lifted me.

Verse 3
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.
