The Anchor Holds Lyrics

Song by Jimmy Swaggart

I have found
Yes, I have journeyed
Through this long, this long, dark night of life
Seeming sometimes that I was out on the open sea
By faith alone, sight unknown
And yet somehow I knew
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 face this raging sea
The anchor holds
The anchor despite the storm

You know I’ve had visions
And I’ve had dreams
It seem like that sometimes
I can even hold them in my hands
But I never knew
That those dreams could slip right through
Like they were only
Tiny grains of sand

The anchor holds
Though the ship is battered
The anchor holds
Though the sails are torn
I have fallen on my knees, yes, I have
As I face this raging sea
The anchor holds
The anchor holds despite the storm

I have been young
And I’m older now, yes
There has even been some beauty
That these eyes have seen
But it was in the night
That I faced the storms, the storms of life
But that’s where God proved His love
Proved it to me, yes, He did

The anchor holds, yes, it does
The ship be battered
The anchor holds
Though the sails are torn
I have fallen on my knees
As I face those raging seas, oh, yes
Anchor holds
The anchor holds despite the storm

I have fallen on my knees
As I faced those raging seas
The anchor holds, yes, it does, yes, it does
Despite the storm

Thank God I have found
The anchor holds
The anchor holds
