I've found the words written by Jimmy Martin but not the ones sang by Doyle Lawson. I got most of them but there's a few words I"m not sure what they're singing. Please help!

Stormy Waters
Jimmy Martin

Though a pilgrim on earth I may journey alone
Knowing not what the future may hold, may hold
I'd rather have Jesus and sing a sweet song
That to covet their silver and gold

Refrain:
Stormy water around me and the tempest and fury may roll
But I have my dear Savior how he helps me nobody can know
When it seems I'm forsaken and my earthly friends misunderstand
Stormy waters surround me but I'll hold to God's unchanging hand

Angry billows may toss me and cause me to fear
Stormy waters around me may roll
I will hold to the hand of my Savior so dear
He's the Shepherd that's keeping my soul

* Refrain

Though I have disappointments so often I sigh
And my cabin is humble and bare, and bare
But someday I'll inherit a mansion on high
Where the beauties of heaven I'll share

* Refrain

This is the best that I have been able to come up with in search of the same lyrics.
Hope this will help.

Stormy Waters
Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver

Stormy waters all around me waves are rough and rolling high
But amidst it all (but amidst it all)
I plainly see (I plainly see )
There's a fairest of all havens and the keeper hears my cry
To the rock of ages (rock of ages)
Cleft for me (for even me)

Chorus
Stormy waters round me (stormy waters round me)
Thunder rolls (loud the thunders roll)
How the mighty billows (how the mighty billows)
Tossed my soul (tossed my soul)
Lord to find sweet comfort (Lord to find sweet comfort)
When I see (when I look and see)
To the rock of ages (rock of ages)
Cleft for me (for even me)

Not a moment spent in slumber restlessly I sail along
Then my Savior dear (then my Savior dear)
Hears myself plead (hears myself plead)
Soon the ocean waves are peaceful and my heart breaks forth in song
To the rock of ages (rock of ages)
Cleft for me (for even me)

Chorus

Now the homeland I am nearing harbor lights come into view
And the welcome bells (and the welcome bells)
Ring out so free (ring out so free)
Just a few short days of sailing then I'll have a life that's new
To the rock of ages (rock of ages)
Cleft for me (for even me)

Chorus
