The Anchor Holds

I HAVE JOURNEYED THROUGH THE LONG DARK NIGHT OUT ON THE OPEN SEAS

BY FAITH ALONE SIGHT UNKNOWN AND YET HIS EYES WERE WATCHING ME




THE ANCHOR HOLDS THOUGH THE SHIP IS BATTERED

THE ANCHOR HOLDS THOUGH THE SAILS ARE TORN

I HAVE FALLEN ON MY KNEES AS I FACED THE RAGING SEA

THE ANCHOR HOLDS INSPITE OF THE STORM




NOW I'VE HAD VISIONS AND I'VE HAD DREAMS  I'VE EVEN HELD THEM IN MY HANDS

BUT I NEVER KNEW THEY WOULD SLIP RIGHT THROUGH LIKE THEY WERE ONLY GRAINS OF SAND




THE ANCHOR HOLDS THOUGH THE SHIP IS BATTERED

THE ANCHOR HOLDS THOUGH THE SAILS ARE TORN

I HAVE FALLEN ON MY KNEES AS I FACED THE RAGING SEA

THE ANCHOR HOLDS INSPITE OF THE STORM




I HAVE BEEN YOUNG BUT I AM OLDER NOW AND THERE HAS BEEN BEAUTY THESE EYES HAVE SEEN

BUT IT WAS IN THE NIGHT THROUGH THE STORMS OF MY LIFE

OH THAT'S WHERE GOD PROVED HIS LOVE TO ME




THE ANCHOR HOLDS THOUGH THE SHIP IS BATTERED

THE ANCHOR HOLDS THOUGH THE SAILS ARE TORN

I HAVE FALLEN ON MY KNEES AS I FACED THE RAGING SEA

THE ANCHOR HOLDS INSPITE OF THE STORM




I HAVE FALLEN ON MY KNEES AS I FACED THE RAGING SEA

THE ANCHOR HOLDS INSPITE OF THE STORM
