| O'er These Troubled Waters |
| Lord, the day is bleak. |
| Should I stumble o'er this shore of life, |
| Help me, when I am troubled, |
| To ask Thy help in all the strife. |
| The climb seems long and weary, |
| As I wait for Thee to take the helm. |
| Tell me all is well and You won't leave me. |
| You'll keep the ocean calm. |
| Let my faith grow, within Thee, |
| O'er this life's troubled shore. |
| Help me and guide me, all through |
| Life and, then, forevermore. |
| Quench the fiery darts that assail me. |
| Lord, let them pass me by, |
| As I tread on the troubled shore |
| Of life ~ stifling every sigh. |
| Hear my cry, Lord. Let Thy Son |
| Hold me up, o'er the raging tide. |
| Let my soul drink of Thy holiness, |
| On this long troubled ride. |
| Let the beacon of Jesus be shining |
| As His Glory gleams upon my head, |
| That I may claim Him ever ~ on |
| This troubled oceans roughened bed. |
| Let me trust in Thee, truly, all |
| The weary long night, on through ~ |
| Until I reach the shores of Heaven, |
| Seeking Thee in all I ever do ... |
| Trusting Jesus to the ultimate degree. |
| He is the King of Kings. |
| And in the troubled waters daily, |
| Peace and joy this Savior brings. |
| He is a God of Honor. His own |
| Word, all the way there, will stay. |
| Never will I have to wonder as |
| I go to my Lord and humbly pray. |
| He is Master of the sea. |
| On troubled water, He is my holy stay. |
| When I put my trust in this Christ, |
| My Savior, He will stay the way. |
