Love Lifted Me 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.

Love lifted me!

Love lifted me!

When nothing else could help, Love lifted me.

2 All my heart to Him I give, Ever to Him I’ll cling, In His blessed presence live, Ever His praises sing.

Love so mighty and so true Merits my soul’s best songs; Faithful, loving service, too, To Him belongs.

3 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 Savior wants to be— Be saved today.

Levi – Life. Love. Legacy.

Deacon Levi Howze was a man of faith who loved God, trusted his Savior and followed the direction of the Holy Spirit throughout his life.

He invested in young people and believed in their potential.

He gladly supported the Parade of Roses, President Cynthia Smith and the former Presidents for their leadership in advancing the goal of higher education for the youth of B. M. & E. Levi loved to bless others with words of wisdom, prophesy and money from his pocket. He believed that he was blessed to bless others. He always lent a helping hand. He consistently gave encouragement, support and prayer to young preachers and pastors.

We will miss his smile, his joyous spirit and his love for everyone.

Deacon Levi Howze
