[Verse 1]
I was like a shipwreck out in the sea
Storm clouds, rain poundin', left alone in the deep
Winds were blowin' right through me, no help to be found
Lost my sense of direction, water's takin' me down

[Chorus]
Then God lifted up His hand
And He delivered me again
When all of my hope was gone
He turned my fear into a song, singing
God is my help in times of trouble!
God is my help in times of trouble!

[Verse 2]
I was like a city under attack
I cried, O God, take pity, keep the enemy back!
I waited and I waited, but no answer came
Seemed like all was finished, enemy at the gate

[Chorus]
Then God lifted up His hand
And He delivered me again
When all of my hope was gone
He turned my fear into a song, singing
God is my help in times of trouble!
God is my help in times of trouble!
God is my help in times of trouble!
God is my help in times of trouble!
