LOVE LIFTED ME [ADAPTED]

Words and music: Howard E. Smith and James Rowe

(G)I was sinking deep in sin,
Far from the peaceful (D)shore,
(D7)Very deeply stained within,
Sinking to rise no (G)more.
But the Master of the sea
Heard my despairing (C)cry;
From the waters (G)lifted me, now (D)safe am (G)I!

Chorus:
(G)Love lifted me, Love lifted (C)me;
When nothing (G)else could help(A7), Love lifted (D)me.
(G)Love lifted me, Love lifted (C)me;
When nothing (G)else could help, (D)Love lifted (G)me!

(G)When the waves of sorrow roar,
When I am in (D)distress,
(D7)Jesus, You take my hand in Yours,
Ever Your Love to (G)bless.
You will every fear dispel,
(C)Satisfy every need;
All who heed Your (G)loving call find (D)rest in(G)deed.

[Repeat Chorus]

(G)All my heart to You I give,
Ever to You I'll (D)cling,
(D7)In Your blessed Presence live,
Ever Your praises (G)sing!
Love so mighty and so true,
Merits my soul's best (C)songs;
Faithful, loving (G)service, too, to (D)You be(G)longs.

[Repeat Chorus]
