[Verse 1]
G
I was sinking deep in sin
D
Far from the peaceful shore
D
Very deeply stained within
G
Sinking to rise no more
G
But the Master of the sea
C
Heard my despairing cry
G
From the waters lifted me
D           G
Now safe am I

[Chorus]
G
Love lifted me!
C
Love lifted me!
G
When nothing else could help
A           D
Love lifted me!
G
Love lifted me!
C
Love lifted me!
G
When nothing else could help
D  G
Love lift-ed me!

[Verse 2]
G                       D
Just a closer walk with Thee
D                         G
Grant it, Jesus, is my plea
G                      C A
Daily walking close to Thee
G         D           G
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be
(Leaning on the Everlasting Arms).
G
(Just a Closer Walk with Thee)
G                      D
I am weak but Thou art strong
D                      G
Jesus keep me from all wrong
G                    C A
I'll be satisfied as long
G            D             G
As I walk, let me walk close to Thee.

[Chorus]
G
Love lifted me!
C
Love lifted me!
G
When nothing else could help
A           D
Love lifted me!
G
Love lifted me!
C
Love lifted me!
G
When nothing else could help
D  G
Love lift-ed me!

[Verse 3]
G                  C
What a fellowship, what a joy divine,
G                          D
Leaning on the everlasting arms;
G                   C
What a blessedness, what a peace is mine
G                  D       G
Leaning on the everlasting arms.
G        C
Leaning, leaning,
G                        D
Safe and secure from all alarms;
G        C
Leaning, leaning,
G                  D       G
Leaning on the everlasting arms.

[Chorus]
G
Love lifted me!
C
Love lifted me!
G
When nothing else could help
A           D
Love lifted me!
G
Love lifted me!
C
Love lifted me!
G
When nothing else could help
D  G
Love lift-ed me!
