The Anchor Holds

(album: Gospel Favorites - 1999)

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
Oh, that's 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 knees
As I faced the raging seas
But the anchor holds
Oh in spite of the storm
Yeah yeah yeah
