You're in tumultuous waters 
You have been tossed to and fro 
Your thoughts are turning frantic 
And the tides too strong to row

You're out in the great open 
At the mercy of the sea 
And suddenly you're feeling 
All your inadequecies

Feeling so awfully helpless 
Forces out of your control 
For they are so much bigger 
Without help, affect your soul

There is one force that's greater 
That is stronger than the rest 
It is our Lord Almighty 
For solutions, He's the best

When you're feeling tossed about 
And your future's looking bleak 
May it be God you call for 
And the first one that you seek

For He's the greatest calmer 
Greatest peace you'll ever find 
When our own understanding 
Leads us in these waters blind

He is always there for us 
We need give control to Him 
And let the Lord take over 
When you're just too tired to swim

For He is your protector 
Safely carry you ashore 
So call on Him and trust 
Him Let His love for you outpour
