Lyrics for Song: Love lifted me
Lyrics for Album: I do believe [1974]
Burl Ives - 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.
Chorus
Love lifted me! (even me)
Love lifted me! (even me)
When nothing else could help,
Love lifted me!
All my heart to Him I'll 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.
Chorus
Love lifted me! (even me)
Love lifted me! (even me)
When nothing else could help,
Love lifted me!
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 Saviour wants to be -
BE SAVED TODAY!
Chorus
Love lifted me! (even me)
Love lifted me! (even me)
When nothing else could help,
Love lifted me!
