I think that's the same one. Do you have it digitized? Or is it on tape.

Like I said I got the 45 here somewhere.

Response: I think someone taped, cassette, the 45 for me.

I just listened to it, they get about half way through when the Spirit moves, one of the two, starts speaking in tongues, while the other is singing. Thst is a gem.

Oh, thank you, Gerald!

I'm sure Dr. Ron remembers that recording - and certainly his mother, Mary Lois, would.

Scooter ripped it to a WMA file.

WARNING: Not responsible for any add that appears at this link. I tried another and it displayed an ad with a woman showing too much cleavage so I moved to Megaupload. Everything seemed TCOG safe -so far.

Absolutely amazing. After all these years, the anointing is still felt.

Thank you, thank you, Gerald and Scooter.

Thank you Shellie, I don't know how you survived with Gerald at your house, he and Scooter, together. Yikes!!! How many times did you have to tell them to go to their corners? :lol:

In tribute to Beulah Miracle, these lyrics come closest to those sung on the recording (although she sang, "the harbor light bright," instead of, "the harbor's bright light). The last two lines of the second verse are ones that, out of the versions I researched, match the first two lines. The third verse (which is not on the recording) is one used by Flatt and Scruggs.

For anyone interested, she was singing in the key of "C".

Troublesome Waters

Troublesome waters are blacker than night
Hiding from view the harbor's bright light
Out on the ocean I seem as a speck
Awful seamonsters awaiting my wreck

CHORUS
Gently I feel the touch of His hand
Guiding my boat to that better land
Leading the way to Heaven's bright shore
Troublesome waters I'm fearing no more

Sin waves are tossing and dashing so high
But over the noise He hears my sad cry
Lord I am trusting show mercy to me
Steady my lifeboat while I am at sea

Troublesome waters around me now roll
Rocking my boat and tempting my soul
Loved ones are drifting and living in sin
Treacherous whirlpools are pulling them in.
