Troublesome Waters

Troublesome waters around me do roll

They're rockin' my boat and wreckin' my soul

Loved ones are driftin' and livin' in sin

The treacherous whirlpools are pullin' them in

When troublesome waters are rollin' so high

I lift up my voice and to heaven I cry

Lord I am trustin' give guidance to me

And steady my boat on life's troubled sea.

Troublesome waters are blacker than night

Hiding from view the harbor light bright

Out on the ocean I seem as a speck

Awful sea monsters are waiting my wreck

Gently I feel the touch of his hand

Guiding my boat to that better land

Leading way to heaven's bright shore

Troublesome waters I'm fearing no more

Troublesome waters around me now roll

Rocking my boat and tempting my soul

Loved ones are drifting and living in sin

Treacherous whirlpools are pulling them in

Sin waves are tossing and dashing so high

Over this noise you hear my sad cry

Lord I am trusting show mercy to me

Steady my lifeboat while I am at sea
