The Anchor

THE ANCHOR

Verse 1

The waves are high, the wind is cold

The stories of my fear are getting old

I’m tired of trying to stay afloat

While the storm is raging ‘round this boat

But then I see You walking on the sea

Reaching out a hand to rescue me

Chorus 1

You are the anchor in the deep

A promise that You’re gonna keep

When the ground beneath is giving way

You’re the word that I’m gonna say

I’m holding on, I’m holding fast

To a love that’s always gonna last

Verse 2

My feet are set on higher ground

The silence is a beautiful sound

No more running from the pouring rain

You’ve taken all the power from the pain

I’m standing where the water meets the land

Supported by the hollow of Your hand

Chorus 2

You are the anchor in the deep

A promise that You’re gonna keep

Through the fire and the rising flood

I am covered by Your perfect blood

I’m holding on, I’m holding fast

To a love that’s always gonna last

Rap Section

Yeah, I’ve been drifting...

Looking for a harbor but the map was missing

In a cycle full of struggle, never listening

Thinking I could steer the ship through the hurricane

But the salt in the wounds only added to the pain.

I was sinking in the "what-ifs" and the "could-have-beens"

Caught in the current of my own secret sins

But the Anchor dropped heavy, hit the bottom of the floor

Found a peace I never knew, heard a knock at the door.

You didn't just stop the storm, You walked me through the center

Into the holy place where only grace can enter

No more treading water just to keep my head up high

I’m anchored to the Truth, I’m finished with the lie.

Yeah, I’m finished with the lie.

Chorus 3

You are the anchor in the deep

A promise that You’re gonna keep

The wind can blow and the sea can roar

But I’m not drifting anymore

I’m holding on, I’m holding fast

To a love that’s always gonna last

Outro

I’m holding on

I’m holding on to You

Your holding on

Your holding on to Me

Your My anchor
