Cash, Johnny - Troublesome Waters Lyrics






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

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...

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...

Cash, Johnny Troublesome Waters Comments
  1. M.... W....

    Love this song and Johnny Cash!! I'm in a whole world of troublesome waters at the moment. And definitely don't know which way to turn!! 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼

  2. J.... B....

    This song oozes truth and is relatable. We need to get Johnny cash and other such singers popular again

  3. B.... H....

    His voice was and is still a National treasure.  For most Christians this song is goes right to the heart of our walk and it's challenges.  Other than Christian radio it seems only some of the Stars in Country Music still occasionally sing and promote Gospel music and that's a shame.

  4. M.... H....

    A Very Beautiful Song

  5. A.... W....

    I feel like some temptations are like waves. Some I can ride myself but others are so powerful that they wipe me away and there is nothing I can do. But when I have prayed to God to save he he always seems to make it so somehow I can traverse the wave despite it being so much bigger than me. Remember the scripture where Jesus calmed the waves (Mark 4:35-41). He will also do that in our lives. He has done it in mine. He lives and will save you if you ask him. In Jesus name, Amen

  6. S.... B....

    In in some troublesome waters right now and I'm scared please pray for me I'm praying for myself that what's happening will go away and that I will keep trusting our Lord

    S.... B....

    You have my prayers.

    S.... B....

    U ok bro ??? Please answer back

    S.... B....

    Sally Berry hope you’re okay now. I think we all go through troubles time to time. Keep your faith God has a way out

  7. m.... s....

    calms me down

  8. D.... ....

    They always said God's voice sounds like Johnny Cash.

    D.... ....

    like running water!

    D.... ....

    Because God bless you guys and He uses Johnny Cash to touch people ♥️🎼🎸🙏🏽🎵

    This song touches my heart because lately that's what I seem to be going through. I pray God help me and have mercy on me. Prayers for my family.  Please pray for us.

  10. D.... H....

    I didn't get this at first. The meaning of the song. Because was never taught about faith except in self. Since coming to the Lord I have a special place in my heart for this one.

  11. J.... A....

    I sang that to my little boy for his first few years. Spent a lot of time alone as a child,after my dad left us. I had this old record and I Think I wore the groove out.
    Johnny's voice was just like dad's. God bless Johnny Cash.

    J.... A....

    I'm sorry for your loss.

  12. R.... N....

    This Johnny Cash song has stuck with me for decades. Love it. He sings it so perfectly with the Carter Family accompanying him.

  13. j.... b....

    One summer night in 1967 I heard the Beatles Sgt Pepper and I thought the world had changed forever.  I subsequently gave away my Johnny Cash albums.  The change was very temporary...

  14. n.... ....

    This is my favorite Johnny Cash gospel song of all time. I can truly relate to this hymn. I've gone through the toughest struggles in life that nearly drowned me, but ask the Lord for guidance and direction. I actually want this song played at my funeral when my time on earth expires. I love this song that much.

  15. L.... M....

    Graaaaande Cash! :)

  16. D.... J....

    lovely song

  17. l.... ....

    Maybe my favorite Johnny Cash classic. Yet again you hear Anita Carter's voice in the angel's choir accompanying.

  18. R.... S....

    Love this song, my dad use to sing it to us when I was growing up. Dad loved to sing even though he didn't live the life, this song would make him cry as he sang it. Thankfully he came to the Lord near the end. This song will always be a precious memory. Johnny does it almost as well as dad. Those struggles through troublesome waters both these men faced can inspire those who hear. Thanks for posting.
