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.
Well I have fallen on my knees,
as I faced the raging sea,
But the Anchor holds, in spite of the storm.
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.
O, the Anchor holds

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.
And the Anchor holds

I said I’ve fallen down on my knees
as I faced the raging seas;
But the Anchor holds, in spite of the storm.

I just heard it for the first time not too long ago. It's stuck in my head most of the time. The Anchor Holds If I thought anyone would know what I meant, I would say "The Anchor holds" when I'm asked how I am. The Anchor Holds Hmm... maybe they might ask me what I mean by that, you think? The Anchor Holds
