In loving-kindness Jesus came,<\/strong><\/em>
\n My soul in mercy to reclaim,<\/strong><\/em>
\n And from the depths of sin and shame<\/strong><\/em>
\n Through grace He lifted me.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Refrain:<\/strong><\/em>
\n From sinking sand He lifted me,<\/strong><\/em>
\n With tender hand He lifted me;<\/strong><\/em>
\n From shades of night to plains of light,<\/strong><\/em>
\n Oh, praise His Name, He lifted me!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

He called me long before I heard,<\/strong><\/em>
\n Before my sinful heart was stirred,<\/strong><\/em>
\n But when I took Him at His word,<\/strong><\/em>
\n Forgiv\u2019n, He lifted me.\u00a0 [Refrain]<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

His brow was pierced with many a thorn,<\/strong><\/em>
\n His hands by cruel nails were torn,<\/strong><\/em>
\n When from my guilt and grief, forlorn,<\/strong><\/em>
\n In love He lifted me.\u00a0 [Refrain]<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Now on a higher plane I dwell,<\/strong><\/em>
\n And with my soul I know \u2019tis well;<\/strong><\/em>
\n Yet how or why, I cannot tell,<\/strong><\/em>
\n He should have lifted me.\u00a0 [Refrain]<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Charles H. Gabriel, Pub.1905<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful,\u00a0and\u00a0hating one another.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.\u00a0 Titus 3:3-7<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
