(M. Carter - E.J. Carter - Deen)



Troublesome waters much blacker than night

Are hiding from view the harbor's bright light

Tossed in the turmoil of life's stormy sea

I cried to my Savior, "Have mercy on me"



(Chorus)

Then gently I'm feelin' the touch of His hand

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

They're rocking my boat and wreckin' my soul

Loved ones are driftin' and livin' in sin

The treacherous whirlpools are pullin' them in



(Repeat Chorus)



When troublesome waters are rollin' so high

I'll lift up my voice and to heaven I'll cry

"My Lord I am trusting, give guidance to me

And steady my boat on life's troubled sea"



(Repeat Chorus)



Troublesome waters I'm fearing no more
