The Anchor Holds

Today’s prompt for Bloganuary 2023 is “What is a song or poem that speaks to you and why?” and it’s one of the easiest prompts for me to answer: “The Anchor Holds”. Ray Boltz has been one of my favourite gospel artists for as long as I can remember and “The Anchor Holds” is my favourite song. It’s been the theme to my life.

I have experienced being torn and broken many times. I have felt lost when I faced struggles and hardships especially when my faith was shaken. The line “through the long, dark night” certainly sums up how I felt during that time perfectly. Even though there was a moment or two when I thought about walking away from my faith and God all together, I found myself crying out to him, asking him to please not give up on me and I can truly say, I believe he answered that prayer. Jesus is my anchor and my anchor forever holds.
