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.

I learned this as a child in Sunday School about 60 years ago and it has never left me. We are trying to revive all the old choruses we sang as children. Love is still lifting me. God bless

So nice to see this...a memory from my childhood. So simple and yet so profound..If you can sing it and not feel joy in your heart, it's time to reaccess you life..

I was sinking deep in sin, Far from the peaceful show, Very deeply stained within But the master of see heard my despairing cry. The love of God is something that without divine intervention one can't understand. Imagine the time we didn't know God, the time we were wandering in sin, almost dying in sin God sent His only son from heaven to redeem us from sinking in the sea of sin. May God help us to realise his love every day.

Love is the greatest. God commanded his love towards us that while we were still sinners Jesus died for us. That's the love that lifted us.
I especially love the third verse - Souls in danger look above Jesus completely saves - He your Savior wants to be Be saved today! What hope and assurance.

My favourite song because it defines the core of how I have come this far in life.

Love is what lifted us. Not following all the rules, not changing your attitude or behavior all on our own, but the love and actions of our precious Father. I have hope!

I gave my life to the Lord at 10years, backslid at 14. Lived a life of fear, conviced my sins can never be forgiven until I read Isaiah 1:18-20 & Psalm 107. This song reminds me of what a debtor iam to God, and where I would be now if it wasn't for His unconditonal love. Loving me with all my defects.
