Anchor

Anchor of my soul you sustain

When I'm in the storm,

You remain good to me

Good to me

Anchor of my soul you sustain

When I'm in the storm,

You remain good to me

Good to me

When it's a quarter past midnight

And the gray skies fade to black,

the waves splash and set me off track

So my vessel might crash or collaspse

When I'm attacked and start wrestling in my head with these bad memories from my past

I'm aware of my guilt

Overwhelmed and the smell of my blood has the sharks that surround me cast under a spell

They waited for me to fall

But when I fell, the water got still

And the blood that was spilled protects me

It's the same blood that cleansed me

My only defense against my nemesis

Now I can rest knowing that nothing can come against me unless the father gives consent

Evil intentions will not disturbed God's purposes or interfere

So who shall I fear if my anchor is secure?

Learning to consider it pure joy when I'm facing tribulations

Praising God instead of complaining and getting overtaken with bitterness

Looking at the pages of the book of James and seeing the ways that God works through the trials to make us more mature in our faith

It reminds me how desperate I am in this desert land

Thirsty for your mercy and plan while you give me the strength to stand

Your my greatest pleasure

Yeah, no matter the weather I face Lord you never forsake

My fragile life is safe under your sovereign grace

Anchor of my soul you sustain

When I'm in the storm,

You remain good to me

Good to me

At some point every human looks right in the eyes of agony

And through tragedy, asks himself how can this happen to me?

You might be the type with enough insight to hold on for your dear life

But slip because your grip is not as tight as you might like

You ain't immune to it naw

And if you true to yourself, then you ain't new to it

Trusted in self, lusted and lured to it

So when the darkness overwhelms me

And the tide of life rises and swells,

It is well is what compels me

When faced with adversity,

Your truth constantly reminds me that you command the seas with ease

And with words you're turning wind to breeze

Helps me understand that we stand on solid rock

Not on sinking sand

Through the providence of pain you perfect your plan

Predestined to be tested when the works and words of God cooperate and educate men in the great gift of grace and faith

And even though it's obvious

When my outlook's ominous

You've bound my heart and conscience and gave me a constant calmness

So when the pain comes like rain from the parts of life that maintain its strain

I can put my trust in the hands that sustain

It's profound that with all these sinking ships around me,

He surrounds me and he anchors me with his grace abounding

Anchor of my soul you sustain

When I'm in the storm,

You remain good to me

Good to me
