Troubled are the waters, but above the dark clouds prevails the Light of God as a hand guiding me to that better land. Beyond the midst of the troubled waters and the dark clouds, is a brighter place. Through these troublesome waters, but now, I fear no more. Though toss in the turmoil of life’s storming sea, but on the rage I do roll. Dear God, have mercy on me.

Troublesome waters around me do roll

Rocking this boat tempting my soul

Loved ones are drifting they’re living in sin

These troublesome waters are pulling them in

Gently I feel the touch of God’s hand

Guiding my boat to that better land

Leading the way to Heaven’s bright shore

Troublesome waters I’m fearing no more

Troublesome waters are blacker than night

Hiding from view the harbor’s bright light

Tossed in this turmoil of life’s stormy sea

Then I cried dear Savior have mercy on me

Troublesome waters are blacker than night

Hiding from view the harbor’s bright light

I’m tossed in the turmoil of life’s stormy sea

I cried dear Jesus have mercy on me

Gently I feel the touch of God’s hand

He’s guiding my boat to that better land

Leading the way to Heaven’s bright shore

Troublesome waters I’m fearing no more

Troublesome Waters
