The Lord knew how to get to me and what I'd need to hear

When the sea is troubled and it's hard to stay afloat

And you feel like Jesus is sleeping in the boat 
          G            D                B7 
Don't you dare give up on the Prince of Peace

And in the middle of the storm 
         A7 
You will find a sweet release
