MY ANCHOR HOLDS
Author(s): Singing Sam
Songbook: Compiled LJ Songs
KeyWords: Comfort,

Tho' the angry surges roll
On my tempest driven soul,
I am peaceful, for I know,
Wildly tho' the winds may blow,
I've an anchor safe and sure,
That can evermore endure

Chorus:
And it holds, my anchor holds,
Blow your wildest, then, O gale
On my bark so small and frail:
By His grace I shall not fail,
For my anchor holds, my anchor holds

Mighty tides about me sweep,
Perils lurk within the deep,
Angry clouds o'er shade the sky,
And the tempest rises high,
Still I stand the tempest's shock,
For my anchor grips the Rock

I can feel the anchor fast,
As I meet each sudden blast,
And the cable, though unseen
Bears the heavy strain between,
Through the storm I safely ride,
Till the turning of the tide

Troubles almost 'whelm the soul,
Griefs like billows o'er me roll,
Temptors seek to lure astray,
Storms obscure the light of day:
But in Christ I can be bold,
I've an anchor that shall hold

[Repeat Chorus Twice]
