Lyrics Merle Haggard

Merle Haggard

Love Lifted Me

I was sinking deep in sin far from a peaceful shore

Very deeply stained within sinking to rise no more

But the Master of the sea heard my despairing cry

From the water lifted me now safe am I

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

Love lifted me, love lifted me

When nothing else could help, love lifted me

Souls in danger, look up above, Jesus completely saves

He will lift you by His love out of an angry wave

He's the Master of the sea, billows His will obey

He's your Savior wants to be, be saved today

Love lifted me, love lifted me

When nothing else could help, love lifted me
