Love Lifted Me    (1912)

I'll write myself a simple song
Get the whole world to sing along
I'll call it a love song for you

And who knows
I'm liable to take a song from the bible
And then when I'm through?
I'll just sing:

Love lifted me, love lifted me
When nothing else would do
You know, love lifted me

Everybody's lookin' for a way
To say something
Nobody said but that's hard to do

They're searchin' their mind
Tryin' to find the one of a kind way
That they could say something new
I just say:

Love lifted me, love lifted me
When I was down and out
You know, love lifted me
Love lifted me

----------------------------------------

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.

Souls in danger look above
Jesus completely saves
He will lift you by his love
Out of the angry waves

But the master of the sea
Billows His will obey
He your savior wants to be
Be saved today

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.

Lyrics by James Rowe.
