[Verse 1]
D G A D
Will your anchor hold in the storms of life,
A E A
When the clouds unfold their wings of strife?
D A D
When the strong tides lift and the cables strain,
G A D
Will your anchor drift, or firm remain?
[Chorus]
G D
We have an anchor that keeps the soul
A
Steadfast and sure while the billows roll,
D G
Fastened to the Rock which cannot move,
A G A D
Grounded firm and deep in the Savior’s love.
[Verse 2]
D G A D
It is safely moored, ’twill the storm withstand,
A E A
For ’tis well secured by the Savior’s hand;
D A D
And the cables, passed from His heart to mine,
G A D
Can defy that blast, thro’ strength divine.
[Verse 3]
D G A D
It will surely hold in the Straits of Fear
A E A
When the breakers have told that the reef is near;
D A D
Though the tempest rave and the wild winds blow,
G A D
Not an angry wave shall our bark o’erflow.
[Verse 4]
D G A D
It will firmly hold in the Floods of Death
A E A
When the waters cold chill our latest breath,
D A D
On the rising tide it can never fail,
G A D
While our hopes abide within the Veil.
[Verse 5]
D G A D
When our eyes behold through the gath’ring night
A E A
The city of gold, our harbor bright,
D A D
We shall anchor fast by the heav’nly shore,
G A D
With the storms all past forevermore.
