This painting is inspired bij the beautiful old hymn 'Love Lifted me' , by James Rowe, 1912

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.

Souls in danger look above; Jesus completely saves

He will lift you by His love Out of the angry waves

But the Master of the sea; Bollows His wil obey

He your Savior wants to be. Be saved today! 

Love lifted me! love lifted me! When nothing else could help: love lifted me!
