Troublesome waters much blacker than night
Are hiding my 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
Troublesome waters around me do roll rocking my boat and racking my soul
Loved ones are drifting and living in sin treacherous whirlpools are pulling them in
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 steady my boat on life's troubled sea
Then gently I'm feeling...
