Love Lifted Me
· 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!
· 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’s the Master of the sea, billows His will obey,
He your Savior wants to be, be saved today.
I remember singing this song as a young man years ago. I do not know/remember if I ever sang it in a LC meeting in the 40 years of attending. I heard it the other day and it spoke to me of a simple touch with the Lord, something I need more than not. Eventually I changed "Love lifted me" to "Christ lifted me" and it became as rich. Love and Christ lifted me. I enjoyed this song, one from a timeless simpler time.
