He keeps me in all safety,
when I sometimes go astray.
He keeps my ship afloat,
safely leads me into the bay.
Some days, as I feel I'm sinking,
tho I try hard not to be,
He always propels my heart and soul
away from danger, alee.

When the waves are bearing down upon me,
in this stormy sea,
My Lord will ever be there.
I belong to Him, you see.
Since His Holy Spirit,
lead me to the altar
('twas so sweet to know),
From coast to coast or from sea to sea,
He will always with me go.

So, if you are sinking and in danger,
and your heart is full of fear,
Turn over your life to Jesus.
He will always keep you near.
He will ever guide you.
In your heart, you'll feel His love
So abounding, so joyful,
you'll know it's from above.

Let Him be your Anchor.
May He guide you o'er the stormy sea
And, in this life, know the blessings -
all that life can be.
As the stars glisten in the night
and the moon does glow,
Through this life and forever
Jesus with you will go.
