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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.

This song is my own testimony. It reminds me the year when I gave in to Christ and was baptized. That's when I was a primary school boy. I can't forget how Christ separated me from the bang smoking group and gave me chance to sing and praise his name. Glory be to God.

Just got a disheartening health diagnosis for my relative. Was outside pulling weeds when the neighboring church bells chimed “Love Lifted Me”. I came in and sought out all the words. He did lift me, for without Him there is no hope!

I was feeling so depress and I sought peace from Jesus Christ my Saviour when this song popped in head. Thanks be to Jesus for His blessed consolation through this hymn.
HIS unfailing love lifted me out of the depress spirit. Amen.

Just when I was reflecting on my own weaknesses and helplessness in the face of many temptations, the song "I was sinking deep in sin" reminded me of God's Great Love for me. Oh what a great relief and assurance I have just received; Indeed God's Love is so Mighty and so True.
Do you sense the danger of sin and feel your helplessness, look up to Jesus; for Jesus completely saves.

While devotional time was taking place and the lesson studied (2 Cor. 5:11-21) revealed I needed to forgive someone who had betrayed me. I prayed afterwards and forgave this individual and asked for my own forgiveness and in the prayer love lifted me was spoke from my lips to God's divine ears and once again now I am safe. Rev. 12:11 says, And they have defeated him by the blood of the Lamb and by their testimony. Love Lifted Me. May God continue to bless and keep us All. Amen.

God's Spirit had me singing Blessed Assurance and about a month later the spirit had me singing I was Sinking Deep in Sin, I couldn't remember all the lyrics and so I Googled the song and I've been singing it ever since, thanks Google!!! ☺😊☺😊

This is one of my favourite hymns seeing where God took me from to make me His very own.

Our Catholic Cathedral in Greenville SC did a wonderful job on this song sunday. Reminding us of our saviour Jesus Christ and how He loves us.

During my early years we sung this song all the time in Church and during Evangelistic meetings. During our Sabbath worship it came to mind and we had to sing it.
Thank You God for Your everlasting love for us.

My Mom suffered a massive stroke 3 years ago that paralyzed her and took away her speech. The hardest thing ever as she wants to talk but can't.
Interesting thing with Aphasia.... people can still sing!! As we walk the halls in the nursing home she sings this song. It lifts her spirits and mine so thank You Jesus!! You are faithful.
She has always sang around the house when we were growing up to lift her spirits during difficult times. This is now another difficult time but she is blessing others as she always does.. Her JOY comes from the Lord.
