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. {2} When no one but Christ
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.
