Oh, my! People really do read my posts. One of my favorite hymns stems from the low place I was when God got a grip on me. Even though I knew I was forgiven, I allowed Satan to make me feel nasty for years and years. I've always fallen for his lies.
I avoided other Christians. I tossed tracts in the trash. I found a place in a denomination that's big on situational ethics. Still, His word was written in my heart and I knew I was sinning.
I was angry and bitter at a God who would make me be like this. I pictured God as sitting up there, tossing rotten eggs and laughing at me.
Love Lifted Me
I was sinking deep in sin
far from the peaceful shore
Very deeply stained by sin
sinking to rise no more
But the Master of the sea
heard my dispairing cry
From the waters lifted
Now saved am I...
...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 Saviour wants to be
be saved today.
Love lifted me, love lifted me
When nothing else would help
L;ove lifted me.
