I was sinking deep in sin

1
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.
  Love lifted me!
Love lifted me!
When nothing else could help,
  Love lifted me.
Love lifted me!
Love lifted me!
When nothing else could help,
  Love lifted me.
2
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.
3
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 Savior wants to be—
  Be saved today.

Daddy taught all 10 of us children to sing the Chorus with the words, "John 3:16,

John 3:16, when nothing else could help, John 3:16. John 3:16, John 3:16. When nothing else could help; John 3:16."

If you knew who and what I was when Jesus found me, and saved me, you'd know why this song is my very most beloved. Regarding other comments:

Jdw53: Thank you! I memorized Colossians 3:1-17 years ago, and it has blessed me greatly, and I agree that the music alone is a blessing.

Marian Ohearn: No offence (Really!), but.....there's one in every crowd!
