I was sinking deep in sin

lyricist: James Rowe
Composer: Howard E. Smith

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.

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.
