We all pray for smooth sailing, sunshine days, and glassy seas,
But that's not the way, I'll know You better
So in rough waters, Lord, will You help me...

[CHORUS]
To bless the waves when the sea would take me under,
To face the wind and not fear the rain and thunder?
'Cause my faith is made stronger and I'm learning with every storm that rages
To bless the waves that throw me on the Rock of Ages.

I could stay in quiet harbors, anchored safe, my soul at peace,
But I was made for rougher waters
So through the tempest, keep teaching me.

[CHORUS]

BRIDGE
Your grace is constant, and Your love will never change.
With Your mighty mercy, would you help me always, always...

[CHORUS]
To bless the waves that throw me on the Rock of Ages,
To bless the waves that throw me on the Rock of Ages.
