The old cowboy sits around the camp fire Talks about faith and sings about love The greatest gift of all Love lifted me love lifted me When nothing else could help 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 Love lifted me love lifted me When nothing else could help Love lifted me All my heart I'll give to him ever to Him I'll cling Him I'll cling In and His blessed presence live ever His praises sing praises sing Love so mighty and so true merits my soul's best songs Faithful loving service too to Him belongs Love lifted me love lifted me When nothing else could help Love lifted me When nothing else could help Love lifted me
