| G | |
| I was sinking deep in sin, |
| D | |
| Far from the peaceful | shore; |
| D7 | |
| Very deeply stained with sin, |
| G | |
| Sinking to rise | no more. |
| But the Master of the sea |
| C | |
| Heard my despairing | cry; |
| G | C | |
| From the waters | lifted | me, |
| D | G | |
| Now | safe am | I. |
| Chorus: |
| G | C | |
| Love lifted me, love lifted | me! |
| G | A | D | |
| When nothing | else could help, | love lifted | me! |
| G | C | |
| Love lifted me, love lifted | me! |
| G | D | G | |
| 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. |
| Souls in danger, look above; |
| Jesus completely saves. |
| He will lift you by His love |
| Out of the angry waves. |
| 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 saviour, wants to be; |
| Be saved today |
