Troublesome Waters Songtext
von Johnny Cash

Troublesome waters much blacker than night
Are hiding from view of the harbor′s bright lights
Tossed in the turmoil of life's stormy sea
I cried to my Saviour, "Have mercy on me"

Then gently I′m feeling the touch of his hands
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 racking 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 hands
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 rolling 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 feeling the touch of his hands
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
