(VERSE 1:)
I HAVE JOURNEYED
THRU THE LONG DARK NIGHT
OUT IN THE OPEN SEA
BY FAITH ALONE
SIGHT UNKNOWN
AND YET HIS EYES WERE
WATCHING ME

( CHORUS :)
THE ANCHOR HOLDS
THO THE SHIPS BEEN BATTERED
THE ANCHOR HOLDS
THO THE SAILS ARE TORN
I HAVE FALLEN ON MY KNEES
AS I FACE LIFE’S RAGING SEAS
THE ANCHOR HOLDS
IN SPITE OF THE STORM.

(VERSE 2:)
I’VE HAD VISIONS
I’VE HAD DREAMS
I’VE EVEN HELD
THEM IN MY HAND
BUT I NEVER KNEW
THAT THEY COULD SLIP RIGHT THRU
LIKE THEY WERE ONLY GRAINS OF SAND.

(CHORUS).......

(VERSE 3)
I HAVE BEEN YOUNG
BUT I AM OLDER NOW
AND THERE HAS BEEN SUCH BEAUTY
THESE EYES HAVE SEEN
BUT IT WAS IN THE NIGHT
THRU THE STORM OF MY LIFE
O, THAT’S WHERE GOD PROVED HIS LOVE TO ME.

(CHORUS)......

(TAG).......
I HAVE FALLEN ON MY KNEES
AS I FACE LIFE’S RAGING SEAS
THE ANCHOR HOLDS
IN SPITE OF THE STORM.
