The old cowboy sits around the camp fire
Talks about faith and talks 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 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
