THE ANCHOR HOLDS...

This song came to my mind today. Not that I am experiencing a major storm in my life right now. Come to think of it... despite the storms, and despite the lack of stormy activity that I might have, have had, will have... God has been so faithful and has shown so much grace in my life. Can't help but feel blessed. But I feel moved to share this song that was written by Ray Boltz... just in case someone out there is going through some storm activity in their lives. And shared a reminder: No matter the type of storm,

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.

I've had visions and I've had dreams;
Well, I've even held them in my hands,
But I never knew those dreams could slip right through
Like they were only grains of sand.

Now I have been young, but I am older now.
O and there has been beauty these eyes have seen;
But it was in the night, when I faced the storms of my life.
Oh, 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, fallen down on my knees
as I faced the raging seas.
But the Anchor holds; O, in spite of the storm.
I said I've fallen, fallen down on my knees
as I faced the raging seas;
But the Anchor holds, in spite of the storm.
