Psalm 40:2-3 He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.
[3] And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the Lord.
Can you remember the time when the God of Heaven reached down farther than you could ever reach up?
Is there a song in your heart placed there by the grace of a great God?
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.
CHORUS:
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!
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.
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.
James Rowe 1912
