Trouble, don't you see
That in your bed I find no sleep?
I confess you came because of me
Trouble get behind me now, trouble let me be

Cold wet stone, deep river bed
Once so clean and clear now runs red
You know too well it was me that called you here
Trouble, get behind me now, trouble, let me be

Oh sweet day leave me behind
I will never call on you until the day I die
Pray your mercy shine on me
Pray your mercy shine

Here I stand, head bowed for thee
My empty heart begs you, “Leave me be!”
But I confess you know too well
That I have fallen

Pray your mercy give to me
Pray your mercy shine
Trouble thou and trouble thee
Let your mercy shine

Cold wet stone, river deep and red
Your cold heart beats inside my head
You know too well it was me that brought you here
Oh trouble ,get behind me now, trouble, let me be
I pray your mercy shine on me, trouble, let me be
