Johnny Cash Lyrics

(Maybelle Carter - Dixie Dean)

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 cry 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

[ ac.guitar ]
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...

[ ac.guitar ]
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...
