Troublesome Waters

Troublesome waters, much blacker than night,

are hiding from view the harbour's bright light

Tossed on the turmoil of life's troubled sea

I cried to my Saviour, "Have mercy on me".

Then gently I'm feeling the touch of his hand

guiding my boat in safely to land

Leading the way to heaven's bright shore

where troublesome waters I'm fearing no more

Troublesome waters around me do roll

They're rocking my boat and wrecking my soul

Loved ones are drifting and living in sin

the treacherous whirlpools are pulling them in

Then gently I'm feeling the touch of his hand

guiding my boat in safely to land

Leading the way to heaven's bright shore

where troublesome waters I'm fearing no more

When troublesome waters are rolling so high

I lift up my voice and to heaven and cry

Lord, I am trusting, give guidance to me

and steady my boat on life's troubled sea

Then gently I'm feeling the touch of his hand

guiding my boat in safely to land

Leading the way to heaven's bright shore

where troublesome waters I'm fearing no more
