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.

God's Spirit had me singing Blessed Assurance and about a month later the spirit had me singing I was Sinking Deep in Sin, I couldn't remember all the lyrics and so I Googled the song and I've been singing it ever since, thanks Google!!! ☺😊☺😊
During my early years we sung this song all the time in Church and during Evangelistic meetings. During our Sabbath worship it came to mind and we had to sing it.
My Mom suffered a massive stroke 3 years ago that paralyzed her and took away her speech. The hardest thing ever as she wants to talk but can't.
Interesting thing with Aphasia.... people can still sing!! As we walk the halls in the nursing home she sings this song. It lifts her spirits and mine so thank You Jesus!! You are faithful.
She has always sang around the house when we were growing up to lift her spirits during difficult times. This is now another difficult time but she is blessing others as she always does.. Her JOY comes from the Lord.
My late dad used to sing this song every morning when clearning our compound and one day I asked him where he learned the song from, and he told me that they use to sing it during second world war when they captured french somali land and in Burma. It’s still fresh in my memory and he is the only person who could sing it in church without a hymn book. Praise God for that.
My mother would sing this as she rocked us and all her grand and great grandchildren. She changed the words but the tune was in our heads and I rocked my kids to this, too. Now she is passed and I hum it as I prepare for her funeral. Do glad I found the true words.
My grandma use to sing this to me while she rocked me when I was little and I did the same for my 2 kids. This song is special to me. I have been missing her lately and seeing this is just want I needed.
