Anchor Holds
I have journeyed
through the long dark night
out on the open, open sea
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, fallen on my knees
as I faced the raging seas
but the anchor holds
in spite of the storm
I’ve had visions
And I’ve had dreams
Well, I’ve even held them
In my hands.
But I never knew
Those dreams could
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, fallen on my knees
as I faced the raging seas
but the anchor holds
in spite of the storm
Now I have been young
and I’m a little bit older now
oh there’s been beauty
these eyes haven’t seen
But it was in that night
That I faced the storms of my life
ohh thats where, where God
proved his love to me
Yes he did
The anchor holds
though the ship is battered
the anchor holds
though the sails are torn
I have fallen, fallen on my knees
as I faced the raging seas
but the anchor holds
in spite of the storm
I said I’ve fallen, fallen,
fallen down on my knes
As I faced the raging seas
But the anchor holds
Oh in spite of the storm
Yeah yeah yeah
