Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Like a ship that's tossed and driven
Battered by an angry sea
When the storms of life are raging
And the fury falls on me
And I look up and wonder why
Why that great fortune passed me by
Then I say to my soul, "Don't worry"
The Lord will make a way somehow
Make me feel good
[Verse 2]
When I try to do my best in service
Try to do the best I can
When I still seem to do the right thing
Evil present on every hand
Many nights, I wonder, tossed in so much pain
Wondering what the next day will bring
And I said to my soul
I said, "Soul," I said, "Don't worry"
The Lord will make a way somehow
[Verse 3]
Let me say this
Thank you
[Verse 4]
Said, the Lord will make a way somehow
When beneath the cross I bow
He will take away each sorrow
Oh, let Him have your burdens now
When the loads bear down so heavy
The weight is shown upon my brow
Oh, there's a sweet relief in knowing
The Lord will make a way somehow
[Verse 5]
The Lord will make a way somehow
The Lord will make a way
I ain't worried about a thing, no
Got Him by my side
I ain't worried about a thing, no
Got Him right here by my side
I know, yeah
Said He would, know He will
I trust in Him
