Love Lifted Me!

It's Sunday, and I've been to church. We sang a hymn this morning that couldn't be more appropriate, given the current situation of our city.

Love Lifted Me

I was sinking, deep in sin
Far from the peaceful shore,
Very deeply stained within,
seeking 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 would 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.
He's the Master of the Sea,
Billows His will obey.
He your savior wants to be,
Be saved today!

That's one of my very favorite hymns, and I definitely sang the way John Wesley told the very first Methodists to sing every hymn, with GUSTO! I was fortunate to be singing next to the best singer I've ever heard sing a note, my mother. Everyone should hug their mamas tight today! Happy Mother's Day!
