I
I HAVE JOURNEYED THRU THE LONG, DARK NIGHT
OUT ON THE OPEN SEA
BY FAITH ALONE, SITE UNKNOWN
AND YET HIS EYES WERE WATCHING ME
CHORUS
THE ANCHOR HOLDS, THO THE SHIP IS BATTERED
THE ANCHOR HOLDS, THO THE SAILS ARE TORN
I HAVE FALLEN DOWN ON MY KNEES
AS I FACED THE RAGING SEA
BUT THE ANCHOR HOLDS INSPITE OF THE STORM
II
I'VE HAD VISIONS AND 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
2ND CHORUS
NOW I'VE BEEN YOUNG, BUT I'M 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
