Hello & Welcome To My

Creative Space!

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.

The Anchor Holds

Written by Ray Boltz & Lawrence Chewning

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

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 have been young
But I am older now
And there has been beauty
That these eyes have seen
But it was in the night
Through the storms of my life
Oh, that’s 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

Until next time,

Thanks for stopping by! 💗
