The Anchor Holds Lyrics

I have journeyed
Through the long, dark night
Out on the open seaBy faith alone
Sight unknown
And yet His eyes were watching meThe anchor holds
Though the ship is battered
The anchor holds
Though the sails are tornI have fallen on my knees
As I faced the raging seas
The anchor holds
In spite of the stormI've had visions
I've had dreams
I've even held them in my handBut I never knew
They would slip right through
Like they were only grains of sandThe anchor holds
Though the ship is battered
The anchor holds
Though the sails are tornI have fallen on my knees

As I faced the raging seas
The anchor holds
In spite of the stormI have been young
But I am older now
And there has been beauty
These eyes have seenBut it was in the night
Through the storms of my life
Oh, that's where God proved
His love to meThe anchor holds
Though the ship's been battered
The anchor holds
Though the sails are tornI have fallen on my knees
As I faced the raging seas
The anchor holds
In spite of the stormI have fallen on my knees
As I faced the raging seas
The anchor holds
In spite of the storm
