LOVE LIFTED ME [ORIGINAL VERSION]

Composed by James Rowe and Howard E. Smith

(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,
(A)Love lifted (D)me, (G)love lifted me, love lifted (C)me,
When nothing (G)else could help, (D)love lifted (G)me

(G)All my heart to Him I give, ever to Him I'll (D)cling,
(D7)In His blessed presence live, ever His praises (G)sing,
Love so mighty and so true, merits my soul's best (C)songs,
Faithful, loving (G)service too, to (D)Him be(G)longs

[Chorus]

(G)Souls in danger, look above, Jesus completely (D)saves,
(D7)He will lift you by His love out of the angry (G)waves,
He's the Master of the sea, billows His will o(C)bey,
He your Saviour (G)wants to be, be (D)saved to(G)day

[Chorus]

(G)When the waves of sorrow roar, when I am in dis(D)tress,
(D7)Jesus takes my hand in His, ever He loves to (G)bless,
He will every fear dispel, satisfy every (C)need,
All who heed His (G)loving call find (D)rest in(G)deed

[Repeat Chorus Twice]
