[Verse]
G Am
Master, the tempest is raging
F C G
The billows are tossing high
C G Am
The sky is o'er shadowed with blackness
F C
No shelter or help is nigh
Am F C
Carest Thou not that we perish?
Am F C
How canst Thou lie asleep
Am F C
When each moment so madly is threatening
Am C G F
A grave in the angry deep?
C G
The winds and the waves shall obey thy will
Am F
Peace be still, peace be still
C G
Forgive us oh Lord of our foolish fear
Am F
And please...
C
Help us be still

Master, in anguish of spirit
F# C# G#
I bow in my grief today
C# Cm A#m
The depths of my sad heart are troubled
F# C#
Oh, waken and save, I pray
A#m F# C#
Torrents of sin and of anguish
A#m F# C#
Sweep over my sinking soul
A#m F# C#
And I perish, I perish,
A#m C# G# F#
Dear Master, hasten and take control
C# G#
The winds and the waves shall obey thy will
A#m F#
Peace be still, peace be still
C# G#
Forgive us oh Lord of our foolish fear
A#m F#
And please... help us be still
C# G#
We know that the wrath of the storm-tossed sea
A#m F#
Or demons or men or whatever it be
C# G#
Are powerless so long as we're with thee
A#m F#
But please Lord help....
C#
Our unbelief
