Iris Dement Troublesome Waters lyrics

Troublesome waters, much blacker than night,

Are hiding from view, the harbour`s bright light.

Tossed on the turmoil of life`s troubled sea,

I cried to my Saviour: "Have mercy on me."



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.



Troublesome waters around me do roll.

They`re rocking my boat and wrecking my soul.

Loved ones are drifting and living in sin:

The treacherous whirlpools are pulling them in



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.



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."



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.
