Flatt and Scruggs - Troublesome Waters lyrics

Troublesome waters around me do roll They're rockin' my boat and wreckin' my soul Loved ones are driftin' and livin' in sin The treacherous whirlpools are pullin' them in When troublesome waters are rollin' so high I lift up my voice and to heaven I cry Lord I am trustin' give guidance to me And steady my boat on life's troubled sea. Troublesome waters are blacker than night Hiding from view the harbor light bright Out on the ocean I seem as a speck Awful sea monsters are waiting my wreck Gently I feel the touch of his hand Guiding my boat to that better land Leading way to heaven's bright shore Troublesome waters I'm fearing no more Troublesome waters around me now roll Rocking my boat and tempting my soul Loved ones are drifting and living in sin Treacherous whirlpools are pulling them in Sin waves are tossing and dashing so high Over this noise you hear my sad cry Lord I am trusting show mercy to me Steady my lifeboat while I am at sea
