TROUBLESOME WATERS

IRIS DEMENT

Lyrics and music:Maybelle Carter, E J Carter, Dixie Deen

Key:

Troubl esome waters much blacker than night

Are hiding from vi ew the harbor's bright li ght.

T ossed on the turmoil of li fe's troubled s ea

I cried to my sa viour "Have m ercy on m e."

Then ge ntly I'm feeling the touch of His ha nd

Guiding my bo at in safely to la nd

L eading the way to he aven's bright sh ore

Where troublesome wa ters I'm fe aring no mo re.

Troubl esome waters around me do roll

They're rocking my boat and wrecking my sou l.

L oved ones are drifting and living in sin

The treacherous whirlpools are pulling them in.

(Refrain)

When tr oublesome waters and rolling so high

I lift up my voice and to heave n I cry

" Lord I am trusting give guidance t o me

And steady my boat o n life's tr oubled sea. "

(Refrain)
