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

You are very welcome. God bless. My pastor sings this song and blesses my heart everytime. No matter what we face God is with us and keeps us from drifting away.
