Troublesome waters much blacker than night
Are hiding from view of the harbor's bright lights
Tossed in the turmoil of life's stormy sea I cry to
my Saviour have mercy on me
Then gently I'm feeling the touch of his hands guiding
my boat in safely to land
Leading the way to heaven's bright shore
Troublesome waters I'm fearing no more
[ ac.guitar ]
Troublesome waters around me do roll they're rocking
my boat and racking my soul
Loved ones are drifting and living in sin the treacherous
whirlpools are pulling them in
Then gently I'm feeling...
[ ac.guitar ]
When troublesome waters are rolling so high I'll lift
up my voice and to heaven I'll cry
My Lord I am trusting give guidance to me and steady
my boat on life's troubled sea
Then gently I'm feeling...
