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.

Be saved today.

I have always been a “good” kid. I often thought I was the one that stayed out of trouble when my friends got into evil things. When I sang this song this morning I realized it was love that lifted me out of the death waters. I was saved when I was 6 and now I see it was His love that lifted me from that time and kept me all these years. Yes love lifted me! What a great gospel song!

I went to bed pleading for victory and woke up with this song on my mind. I looked it up, wrote it out and read some beautiful comments. How encouraging to realize so many are clinging to Jesus. Let us put on the whole armor of God and be BOLD for Jesus!
This is a nice song!

The love of God is unfathomable. It is love that reached down to save a person like me. I am forever grateful to Jesus Christ who suffered, died and rose up from the dead to accomplish my redemption. Really, the love of God lifted me. Have you tasted of this love? For God so loved the world that He have His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. Accept Him today and you can never be the same again. Shalom

I've been concerned about how ineffective I am in telling others about Jesus and what He's done for me. I woke up this morning and was reminded that the soul of anyone who dies without asking Jesus to save them will be lost for all eternity. So every moment they live without Jesus, they are in the greatest danger of instantly being lost and cut off from any chance of a joyous eternity with God in heaven. The third verse warns that they really are 'souls in danger' and need to 'look above' to Jesus for the safety that only he can secure. He is the 'lifeboat' we need to get into.
Beautiful memories of how this hymn ministered to me when I was a young adult and my mom played it for me. God is so good!
