The Carter Family - The Best of the Carter Family

Troublesome Waters

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 Saviour, 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 drifting and living in sin
The treacherous whirlpools are pulling them in.

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 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
