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.

 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.
