In loving-kindness Jesus came My soul in mercy to reclaim, And from the depths of sin and shame Through grace He lifted me. |
|
From sinking sand He lifted me, With tender hand He lifted me, From shades of night to plains of light, Oh, praise His name, He lifted me! |

He called me long before I heard, Before my sinful heart was stirred, But when I took Him at His word, Forgiv'n, He lifted me. |
|
From sinking sand He lifted me, With tender hand He lifted me, From shades of night to plains of light, Oh, praise His name, He lifted me! |

His brow was pierced with many a thorn, His hands by cruel nails were torn, When from my guilt and grief, forlorn, In love He lifted me. |
|
From sinking sand He lifted me, With tender hand He lifted me, From shades of night to plains of light, Oh, praise His name, He lifted me! |
| 4 |
Now on a higher plane I dwell, And with my soul I know 'tis well; Yet how or why, I cannot tell, He should have lifted me. |
|
From sinking sand He lifted me, With tender hand He lifted me, From shades of night to plains of light, Oh, praise His name, He lifted me! |
