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. |
| 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 want to be- |
| | Be saved today. |
