The Anchor Holds

G C G C


[Verse]
G       C
 I have journeyed
G                         C     G   D
 Through the long, dark night
  D       Em      D  D2/E  D/F#
 Out on the open sea
 Am          Dsus D
 By faith alone
 G  D/F#   Em
 Sight  unknown
 C            D Dsus D            G   D
 And yet His eyes   were watching me


[Chorus]

            G    C   G
 The anchor holds
            G/F#       C       Csus    C
 Though the ship is battered
             D     D/E   D/F#
 The anchor holds
                      G    Gsus   G
 Though the sails are torn
         G     G/F#     Em  D
 I have fal-len  on my knees
      C   C/B           Am  G
 As I faced the raging seas
             D   Dsus/E   D/F#
 The anchor holds
                  G
 In spite of the storm

[Verse]
 G       C
 Ive had visions
 G           C     G   D
 Ive had dreams
 D          Em              D  Dsus/E D/F#
 Ive even held them in my hand
 Am            Dsus D
 But I never knew
 G           D/F#          Em   Em/D
 They would slip right through
 C               D                G     D
 Like they were only grains of sand

[Chorus]

 I have fal-len on my knees
      C   C/B           Am  G
 As I faced the raging seas
             D   Dsus/E   D/F#
 The anchor holds
                    G
 In spite of the storm

 C             Dsus D
 I have been young
 G                 G/F#
 But I am older now
 Em                    C    Em
 And there has been beauty
                       D  Dsus/E D/F# D/A D/B
 That these eyes have seen
  C
 But it was in the night
G              D/F#            Em  D
 Through the storms of my life
C
 Oh, thats where God proved
              Dsus D
 His love to me

 Though the sails are torn
          G            G/F#
 I have fallen, fallen down on my knees
      C   C/B           Am   G
 As I faced the raging seas

 The anchor holds

 In spite of the storm
