The Anchor Holds

Intro:C/G G C/G
G C/G
I have journeyed
G C/G
through the long, dark night
G Gmaj7 Em D D/f#
out on the open sea
Am D
By faith alone
G Bm/f# Em
sight unknown
C D G G/C C
and yet his eyes were watching me

{ refrain: }
G (C G)
The anchor holds
C (F C)
though the ship is battered
D (G D)
The anchor holds
G (C G)
though the sails are torn
C G7 Gmaj7 D#dim7
[but] I have fallen on my knees
C Em/B Am
as I faced the ranging seas
D D/F#
The anchor holds
[backvocs: The anchor holds]
G C (D)
in spite of the storm

Verse 2: G {simile}
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

{ refrain }

{ bridge: }
C
I have been young
G
but I am older now
Em
And there has been beauty
D
these eyes have seen
C
But it was in the night
G Bm/F# Em
through the storms of my live
C Am
Oh, that?s where God proved
D
his love to me

{ refrain }

C G7 Gmaj7 F#dim7
I have fallen on my knees
C Em/B Am
as I faced the ranging seas
D D/F#
The anchor holds
[backvocs: The anchor holds]
G C D C/E C/G G
in spite of the storm
