Bible Verse
“And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him.”
Matthew 14:31

“Love Lifted Me” is a beloved Christian hymn written in 1912, with lyrics by James Rowe (1865–1933) and music composed by Howard E. Smith (1863–1918). The hymn draws inspiration from the biblical account of Peter sinking beneath the waves and being rescued by Jesus. Through vivid imagery of drowning and deliverance, the hymn proclaims the saving power of divine love that reaches down to lift the helpless sinner.

This Hiligaynon version, Nagalangoy sa Sala, beautifully portrays the soul overwhelmed by sin and hopelessness until the Savior intervenes. The lyrics emphasize that it is not human strength but God’s redeeming love that rescues and restores. Each verse calls believers to surrender their hearts fully to Jesus and invites those in distress to seek Him without delay. Sung with gratitude and assurance, this hymn celebrates the transforming power of God’s love that saves.

[Verse 1]
Nagalangoy sa sala ang akon nga kalag,
Ginadaidal sang baha nga daw walay palad;
Apang ang Manluluwas nagsagup sa akon,
Iya ako ginluwas, Sia dayawon.

[Chorus]
Diosnon’g gugma! ang nagluwas;
Ang gugma nagluwas, Diosnon’g gugma!
Diosnon’g gugma! ang nagluwas;
Ang gugma nagluwas, Diosnon’g gugma!

[Verse 2]
Ginatugyan ko karon tagiposo-on ko,
Sa Iyang buluhaton sa buhi pa ako;
Diosnon’g gugma kag himpit akon ginadayaw,
Himayang walay sanglit sa ibabaw.

[Chorus]
Diosnon’g gugma! ang nagluwas;
Ang gugma nagluwas, Diosnon’g gugma!
Diosnon’g gugma! ang nagluwas;
Ang gugma nagluwas, Diosnon’g gugma!

[Verse 3]
Kalag nga may kalisud dangup ka kay Jesus,
Abyan Sia nga matuud sa imo nagtubus,
Sia ang imong Ginoo, takus sa pagluwas:
Dangup ka, O kalag ko! Di maglipas.

[Chorus]
Diosnon’g gugma! ang nagluwas;
Ang gugma nagluwas, Diosnon’g gugma!
Diosnon’g gugma! ang nagluwas;
Ang gugma nagluwas, Diosnon’g gugma!
