Tony Rice
The Anchor Holds
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
But the anchor holds
In spite of the storm

I've had visions
I've had dreams
I've even held them in my hands
But I never knew
Those dreams could slip through
Like they were only grains of sand

Now I've been young
But I am older now
There has been beauty
These eyes have seen
It was in the night
I faced the storms of my life
That's where God proved His love to 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
But the anchor holds
In spite of the storm

I have fallen on my knees
As I faced the raging seas
But the anchor holds
In spite of the storm
