O, Lord, My Mind Is Like a Troubled Sea

Oh, Lord, my mind is like a troubled sea,
With waves of doubt and fear that threaten me,
And make me feel there is no hope in Thee.

Rebuke my mind, O Lord, tell it "Be still,
Know ye not I came to do my Father's will,
And, if you'd trust in me a little more,
Those wild, unruly waves of doubt and fear,
Would, in a moment, turn and disappear,
And I would bring you safely to the shore."
