I was sinking deep in sin

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 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.
2
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.
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.

Love lifted me.

We love because He first love us.

I have been in a very dark place. On a real downward spiral. But God has been working deep healing in me. Last night I did a module on helping others find significance in life from AACCs mental health program. It was equipping me to help others but it ministered so deeply to me about God's love and about my life being meaningful. Today this song came to my mind as I woke up. Not in my hymn book but I found it here. Love has lifted me! Love is lifting me! Love will lift me!

I woke up this morning having an intensive worship and praise and thanksgiving to my God, pondering on the events around my life in the last one year, May 2020-May 2021, This song then came to my spirit. I googled the lyrics and sang it several times. So refreshing, so assuring and so exciting. Thanks to God, the One who is there when none else shows up and the One who lifts up with His love.

Chose this song fir the congregational hymn for Sunday’s service 2/14/2021. The perfect hymn for Valentine’s Day! God is love and what greater demonstration of His love than sending his son Jesus to die for our sins.

Awoke this morning with this old hymn repeating in my mind.

Haven't been to a church service in over 10 yrs.

Is there any love as true as Christ's love? So perfect, redeeming and genuine??

About three decades ago, I went out with my mum. We wanted to cross a busy road. My mum was holding my hand as a parent would do. As a fast moving truck was closely approaching, I ran across the road. My mum couldn't run after me because everyone at the scene thought I would be crushed.

My mum loves and cares for me but her love couldn't save me from death.

As the truck was about to hit me, God's power stopped it. Everyone was amazed.

Since then, I believe in God's omnipotence and omnipresence. He loves us, He is everywhere and always ready to save.

When my parent's love failed, God's love saved.

On several occasions, this saving love of God has rescued me from perishing in the raging sea of sins.

Praise the Lord!

Anxious, dark surroundings when I woke and then Love Lifted Me started singing in my head. Only my Saviour sings such beauty and truth. May we all be blessed in His love and presence today.

I woke up this morning trying to figure out my emotions and the validity of my feelings. I concluded that nobody understand me but God. He validated this to me when I turn to my devotion this morning and the Topic was "The Lord Understands." I cried and this song came to me and I googled it. What an understanding God I serve. A God who knows me better than I know myself. A God who understands me when no one else does. A God who knows my deepest struggles. Glory to His name.

Indeed when nothing else seem meaningless, when we have no hope in anything else, the fact that we know we have a creator who loves us unconditionally, then does our spirits get lifted.... thank you
