MP 450 Love lifted me
1. I was sinking deep in sin,
  sinking to rise no more,
  overwhelmed by guilt within,
  mercy I did implore.
  Then the Master of the sea
  heard my despairing cry,
  Christ my Saviour lifted me,
  now safe am I.
  
  Love lifted me! Love lifted me!
  When no-one but Christ could help,
  love lifted me!
  Love lifted me! Love lifted me!
  When no-one but Christ could help,
  love lifted me!
2. 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 Saviour wants to be,
  be saved today!
  
  Love lifted me! Love lifted me!
  When no-one but Christ could help,
  love lifted me!
  Love lifted me! Love lifted me!
  When no-one but Christ could help,
  love lifted me!
3. When the waves of sorrow roll,
  when I am in distress,
  Jesus takes my hand in His,
  ever He loves to bless.
  He will every fear dispel,
  satisfy every need;
  all who heed His loving call,
  find rest indeed.
  
  Love lifted me! Love lifted me!
  When no-one but Christ could help,
  love lifted me!
  Love lifted me! Love lifted me!
  When no-one but Christ could help,
  love lifted me!
All I once held dear
1. All I once held dear,
  built my life upon,
  all this world reveres,
  and wars to own,
  all I once thought gain
  I have counted loss;
  spent and worthless now,
  compared to this:
  
  Knowing You, Jesus,
  knowing You,
  there is no greater thing.
  You’re my all,
  You’re the best,
  You’re my joy, my righteousness,
  and I love You, Lord.
2. Now my heart’s desire
  is to know You more,
  to be found in You
  and known as Yours,
  to possess by faith
  what I could not earn,
  all-surpassing gift
  of righteousness.
  
  Knowing You, Jesus,
  knowing You,
  there is no greater thing.
  You’re my all,
  You’re the best,
  You’re my joy, my righteousness,
  and I love You, Lord.
3. Oh, to know the power
  of Your risen life,
  and to know You in
  Your sufferings,
  to become like You
  in Your death, my Lord,
  so with You to live
  and never die.
  
  Knowing You, Jesus,
  knowing You,
  there is no greater thing.
  You’re my all,
  You’re the best,
  You’re my joy, my righteousness,
  and I love You, Lord.
