The Anchor Holds



Words and music by Lawrence Chewning and Ray Boltz



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



CHORUS:

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



Ive had visions

Ive had dreams

Ive even held them in my hand

But I never knew

They would slip right through

Like they were only grains of sand



CHORUS



I have been young

But I am older now

And there has been beauty

That these eyes have seen

But it was in the night

Through the storms of my life

Oh, thats where God proved

His love to me



CHORUS (repeat)
