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
Thats 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 cant 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 wont 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 Ill 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.
