Love Lifted Me
G D
1.I was sink-ing deep in sin, far from the peace-ful shore, Ver-y deep-ly
G
stained with-in, sink-ing to rise no more; but the Mas-ter of the sea heard my
C G C G D G
de-spair-ing cry, From the wa-ters lift-ed me; now safe am I.
G D
2.All my heart to Him I give, ev-er to Him I'll cling, in His bless-ed
G
Pres-ence live, ev-er His prais-es sing; love so might-y and so true mer-its
C G C G D G
My soul's best songs; faith-ful, lov-ing ser-vice, too to Him be-longs.
G D
3.Souls in dan-ger look a-bove Je-sus com-plete-ly saves, He will lift you by
G
His love out of the an-gry waves; He's the mas-ter of the sea, bil-lows
C G C G D G
His will o-bey; He your sav-ior wants to be, be saved to-day.
Chorus
G D G C G
Love lift-ed me! Love lift-ed me! When noth-ing else could help
A D G D G C
Love lift-ed me! Love lift-ed me! Love lift-ed me!
G G D G
When noth-ing else could help Love lift-ed me!
