Rough Waters
Lyrics by Tom BorgesonCopyright 2026I assumed I’d have smooth sailin’
With Jesus at my side
Never thought I’d see rough waters
I got lost in my pride
Had a rush of diff’rent feelings
I’d lost that inner burn
It felt like I was flyin’ solo
Confused which way to turn
We will always see rough waters
In a world filled with sin
Through faith, He will ease our sorrow
I'll find my rest in Him
The battle’s not just around us
It’s also from within
My flesh can rear its ugly head
And lead me into sin
His strength is found in my weakness
And nothing of my own
Lord Jesus needs to be my focus
In Him and Him alone
When I sin, it brings conviction
The Holy Spirit speaks to me
He’s faithful to forgive my sin
When I am humbled on my knees
As the trials of life keep coming
And my faith is put to the test
I can put my trust in Jesus
It’s at His feet where I find rest
We will always see rough waters
In a world filled with sin
Through faith, He will ease our sorrow
I’ll find my rest in Him
Yeah...my strength can't win the battles
I’m trusting only Him
