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 faced 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
I have been young
But I am older now
And there has been beauty
These eyes have seen
But it was in the night
Through the storms of my life
Where God proved his love to me
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
I have been young
But I am older now
And there has been beauty
These eyes have seen
But it was in the night
Through the storms of my life
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 on my knees
As I faced the raging seas
The anchor holds
In spite of the storm
Though the ship is battered
The anchor holds
Though the sails are torn
I have fallen on my knees
As I faced the raging seas
The anchor holds
In spite of the storm
Now we have this hope
as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul -
it cannot slip and it cannot break down
under whoever steps out upon it...
Hebrews 6:19

Beautiful words and can testify so true.
ReplyDeleteAdrienne, this is beautiful. I could feel a calm come over me as I read the words.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I love your header photo.
That is really beautiful, Adrienne. Thanks for sharing it.
ReplyDeleteA dear friend of ours sang this song in church on a Sunday morning in 1996. Two days later he passed away from a heart attack.
ReplyDeleteHe was 40.
Still miss him.
