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
