And the waves rise over my neck
Sometimes it seems there is no anchor
For my troubled soul to rest
I try to pierce my way through
But the winds and waves come high and fast
There was just one thing I could do
And I prayed to God at last.
So often we forget to call on Him, and
That�s the first thing we should do
Because our storm gets rough and rocky
When our self we try to rush it through
Lord, I pray you would hear me
My earnest plea for help
To keep me Lord from trying
To do what I can�t do by myself.
Lord only you can give me peace
Calm my heart, or still the raging sea
And only you Lord can give me blessed hope
Where no hope seems to be
I ask you Lord to remind me each day
That before trouble begins I would always pray
So you won�t have to rescue me from stumbling along the way.
To you Lord once more I commit my life to you
And by your grace I know you will gently guide me through
Lord, I ask you grant me perseverance
To complete the task at hand
And I�ll give you Praise and Glory
While I follow your commands.
Thank you Lord for loving me and helping me through each day
For without you Lord, my life is nothing and I have no sunshine rays
But with you Lord, I can do all things, and face the storms with confidence
In knowing you Lord are there with me and that Lord brings me great peace.
