The Anchor Holds lyrics

I have journeyed

Through the long dark night

Out on the 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 on my knees

As I faced the raging seas

The anchor holds

In spite of the storm

I’ve had visions

I’ve had dreams

I’ve even held them in my hand

But I never knew

They would slip right through

Like they were only grains of sand

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
