Chords with lyrics

C majorC            FF
Troublesom waters much darker than night
         A minorAm            G+G
Are hiding from view the harbors bright light
C majorC            FF      C majorC
lost in the turmoil of lifes stormy sea
       A minorAm      G+G    C majorC
I cry to my savior, "Have mercy on me."

chorus:
   FF                  C majorC
then gently I'm feeling the touch of his hand
      A minorAm         G+G
guiding my boat in safely to land
C majorC          FF       C majorC
leading the way to heavens bright shore
          A minorAm          C majorC
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
life's treacherous whirlpools are pulling them in.

chorus

when troublesome water and rolling so high
I lift up my vioce and to heaven I cry,
"Lord, I am trusting, give guidance to me
and steady my boat on lifes troubled sea."

chorus
