I have journeyed through the long dark night Out on the open sea By faith alone, sight unknown And yet His eyes are 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 But the anchor holds, in spite of the storm. I've had visions and I've had dreams I've even held them in my hands 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 But the anchor holds, in spite of the storm. I have been young, but I am older now There has been beauty these eyes have seen But it was in the night, through the storms of my life Oh that's when God proved his love to 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 But the anchor holds, in spite of the storm. I have fallen on my knees as I face the raging seas But the anchor holds (the anchor holds) In spite of the storm.
