Lyrics
Verse 1: When I was sinking deep in sin, A lifeguard was sent from heav’n above; He came to this earth to save my soul, Redeeming it by His love.
Verse 2: The night was dark and waves rolled high, Our illfated craft her way had lost, When out of the storm a strong heart came To save her tho’ great the cost.
Verse 3: He did not stop the waves of sin Which feign would our souls in death consume, But brought a new boat of stronger build To bear us above the foam.
Verse 4: He manned this boat with servants true, A chart and a compass both He gave, But died in a struggle with the foe Whose souls He had come to save.
Chorus: He died on the cross to save us from sin; His precious blood for all He shed, That all who accept His offer so free Some day to heaven might be led.
