Anchor |
Anchor of my soul, You sustain |
When I’m in the storm, You remain |
Good to me |
Good to me |
Anchor of my soul, You sustain |
When I’m in the storm, You remain |
You remain good to me |
Good to me |
When it’s a quarter past midnight |
And the grey skies fade to black |
The waves splash and set me off track |
So my vessel might crash or collapse |
When I’m attacked |
And start wrestling in my head with these bad |
Memories from my past |
I’m aware of my guilt, overwhelmed |
And the smell of my blood has the sharks |
That surround me cast under a spell |
They waited for me to fall but when I fell the water got |
Still |
And the blood that was spilled protects me |
It’s the same blood that cleansed me |
My only defense against my nemesis |
Now I can rest knowing that nothing can come against |
Me unless the Father gives consent |
Evil intentions will not disturb God’s purposes or interfere so |
Who shall I fear if my Anchor is secure? |
Learning to consider it pure joy when I’m facing tribulations |
Praising God instead of complaining or getting overtaken with bitterness |
Looking at the pages of the book of James and seeing |
The ways that God works through the trials to make us more |
Mature in our faith. |
It reminds me how desperate I am in |
This desert land, thirsty for your mercy and plan while you |
Give me the strength to stand. |
You’re my greatest pleasure |
Yeah, no matter the weather I face, Lord you never forsake |
My fragile life is safe under your sovereign grace |
Anchor of my soul, You sustain |
When I’m in the storm, You remain |
Good to me |
Good to me |
At some point every human looks right in the eyes of agony |
And through the tragedy asks himself how can this happen to me? |
You might be the type with enough insight to hold |
On for your dear life but slip because your grip is not as |
Tight as you might like |
You ain’t immune to it, naw, and if |
You true to yourself then you ain’t new to it |
Trusted in self, lusted and lured to it |
So when the darkness overwhelms me |
And the tide of life rises and swells «It is Well» is what compels me. |
When faced with adversity your truth |
Constantly reminds me that you command the seas with ease |
And with words you’re turning wind to breeze. |
It helps me |
To understand that we stand on solid rock not on sinking |
Sand. |
Through the providence of pain you perfect your plan |
Predestined to be tested when the works and the Words of |
God cooperate and educate men in the great gift of Grace |
And Faith. |
And even though its obvious when my outlooks |
Ominous you’ve bound my heart and my conscience and gave me |
A constant calmness. |
So when the pain comes like rain from |
The parts of life that maintains its strain I can put my |
Trust in the hands that sustain. |
It’s profound that with |
All these sinking ships around me, He surrounds me and he |
Anchors me with his grace abounding |
Anchor of my soul, You sustain |
You sustain |
When I’m in the storm, You remain |
You remain |
Good to me |
Good to me |
Oh, You’re good to me |
You’re good to me |
Good to me |
