C F C
Troublesome waters much blacker than night
Am G7
Are hiding from view the harbor's bright light
C F C
Tossed in the turmoil of life's stormy sea
Am G7 C
I cried to my Savior have mercy on me
F C
Then gently I'm feeling the touch of His hand
Am G7
Guiding my boat in safely to land
C F C
Leading the way to heaven's bright shore
Am G7 C
Troublesome waters I'm fearing no more
F C
Troublesome waters around me do roll
Am G7
They're rocking my boat and wrecking my soul
C F C
Loved ones are drifting and living in sin
Am G7 C
The treacherous whirlpools are pulling them in
F C
Then gently I'm feeling the touch of His hand
Am G7
Guiding my boat in safely to land
C F C
Leading the way to heaven's bright shore
Am G7 C
Troublesome waters I'm fearing no more
F C
When troublesome waters are rolling so high
Am G7
Lift up my voice and to heaven I'll cry
C F C
My Lord I am trusting give guidance to me
Am G7 C
And steady my boat on life's troubled sea
F C
Then gently I'm feeling the touch of His hand
Am G7
Guiding my boat in safely to land
C F C
Leading the way to heaven's bright shore
Am G7 C
Troublesome waters I'm fearing no more
