(VERSE 1:)
I HAVE JOURNEYED
THRU THE LONG DARK NIGHT
OUT IN THE OPEN SEA
BY FAITH ALONE
SIGHT UNKNOWN
AND YET HIS EYES WERE
WATCHING ME

( CHORUS :)
THE ANCHOR HOLDS
THO THE SHIPS BEEN BATTERED
THE ANCHOR HOLDS
THO THE SAILS ARE TORN
I HAVE FALLEN ON MY KNEES
AS I FACE LIFE�S RAGING SEAS
THE ANCHOR HOLDS
IN SPITE OF THE STORM.

(VERSE 2:)
I�VE HAD VISIONS
I�VE HAD DREAMS
I�VE EVEN HELD
THEM IN MY HAND
BUT I NEVER KNEW
THAT THEY COULD SLIP RIGHT THRU
LIKE THEY WERE ONLY GRAINS OF SAND.

(CHORUS).......

(VERSE 3)
I HAVE BEEN YOUNG
BUT I AM OLDER NOW
AND THERE HAS BEEN SUCH BEAUTY
THESE EYES HAVE SEEN
BUT IT WAS IN THE NIGHT
THRU THE STORM OF MY LIFE
O, THAT�S WHERE GOD PROVED HIS LOVE TO ME.

(CHORUS)......

(TAG).......
I HAVE FALLEN ON MY KNEES
AS I FACE LIFE�S RAGING SEAS
THE ANCHOR HOLDS
IN SPITE OF THE STORM.
