Troublesome Waters

[Verse 1]
Troublesome waters much blacker than night
Are hiding from view, the harbor's bright light
Tossed on the turmoil of life's troubled sea
I cried to my Saviour, "Have mercy on me"

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Troublesome waters around me do roll
They're rockin' my boat and wreckin' my soul
Loved ones are driftin' and living in sin
The treacherous whirlpools are pullin' them in

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
When troublesome waters are rolling so high
I lift up my voice and to heaven, I cry
"Lord, I am trusting, give guidance to me
And steady my boat on life's troubled sea"

[Chorus]
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
