Rewritten by Sister Mimi
I have journeyed through the long dark night
Out on the open sea, by faith alone
Sight unknown; and yet His eyes were watching me
The anchor holds
Though the ship is battered
The anchor holds
Though the sails are torn
I have fallen on my knees as I faced the raging seas
The anchor holds in spite of the storm
(Rewritten)
I’ve been through the fire
I’ve been through the flood
Testings and trials weighed me down
But then God’s Word lifted me up
And drew me more closely to Him
The anchor holds
Though the ship is battered
The anchor holds
Though the sails are torn
I have fallen on my knees as I faced the raging seas
The anchor holds in spite of the storm
(Rewritten)
Now I don’t think it’s strange when a fiery trial comes my way
For I know God is just molding His image in me
And like a strong tree, the shaking will never move me
But it’ll strengthen my roots so I can grow deeper
My anchor holds
Though the ship’s been battered
My anchor holds
Though the sails are torn
I have fallen on my knees as I faced the raging seas
The anchor holds in spite of the storm
I have fallen on my knees as I face the raging seas
The anchor holds in spite of the storm
