<p>Rowe and Smith wrote this song in Saugatuck, Connecticut. According to Rowe’s daughter:</p>
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<p>Howard E. Smith was a little man whose hands were so knotted with arthritis that you would wonder how he could use them at all, much less play the piano…I can see them now, my father striding up and down humming a bar or two and Howard E. playing it and jotting it down.</p>

<div class="lyrics">
|
|
<p>I was sinking deep in sin, far from the peaceful shore,<br>
|
|
Very deeply stained within, sinking to rise no more,<br>
|
|
But the Master of the sea, heard my despairing cry,<br>
|
|
From the waters lifted me, now safe am I.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Love lifted me! Love lifted me!<br>
|
|
When nothing else could help<br>
|
|
Love lifted me!</p>
|
|
<p>All my heart to Him I give, ever to Him I’ll cling<br>
|
|
In His blessèd presence live, ever His praises sing,<br>
|
|
Love so mighty and so true, merits my soul’s best songs,<br>
|
|
Faithful, loving service too, to Him belongs.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>Souls in danger look above, Jesus completely saves,<br>
|
|
He will lift you by His love, out of the angry waves.<br>
|
|
He’s the Master of the sea, billows His will obey,<br>
|
|
He your Savior wants to be, be saved today.</p>
