Troublesome Waters

In a lot of my articles, I mention or bring back the 60s. The 60s were troublesome times however, when I talk to some people who are old enough to remember the 60s many of them don't seem to be able to capture the hostility and tension of the times many of us were feeling back then.
Johnny Cash kind of sums it up with his song "Troublesome Waters" this song relates to the bad trip many of us went through to find ourselves in Christ back then.
Here are the lyrics to the song
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 Savior 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
Are hiding from view of the harbor's bright lights
Tossed in the turmoil of life's stormy sea I cry to my Savior 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.. The touch of his hands guiding my boat in safely to land.
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
My Lord I am trusting give guidance to me and steady my boat on life's troubled sea
