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 face the raging seas

The anchor holds in spite of the storm

I've had visions, I've had dreams

I've even held them in my hand

But I never knew they

would slip right through

Like they were only 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

as I face the raging seas

The anchor holds in spite of the storm

I have been young but I'm older now

And there has been beauty

these eyes have seen

But it was in the night,

through the storms of my life

Oh, that's where God

proved His love for me

The anchor holds

Though the ship's been battered

The anchor holds

Though the sails are torn

I have fallen on my knees

as I face the raging seas

The anchor holds in spite of the storm

I have fallen on my knees

as I face the raging seas

The anchor holds in spite of the storm
