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"

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

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

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"

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 I´m fearing no more
