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.

Had it not been for the wonderful and endearing firey love of Jesu Christ, I would still be in the angry billows of sin. Being tossed on every side by the evil one. PRAISE GOD FOR HIS WONDERFUL AMAZING LOVE THAT LIFTS SINNERS LIKE ME.
I have always been a “good” kid. I often thought I was the one that stayed out of trouble when my friends got into evil things. When I sang this song this morning I realized it was love that lifted me out of the death waters. I was saved when I was 6 and now I see it was His love that lifted me from that time and kept me all these years. Yes love lifted me! What a great gospel song!
I went to bed pleading for victory and woke up with this song on my mind. I looked it up, wrote it out and read some beautiful comments. How encouraging to realize so many are clinging to Jesus. Let us put on the whole armor of God and be BOLD for Jesus!
