The Anchor Holds Chords by Donnie Sumner

_ [Bb] _ _ [C] _ _ _ [Bb] _ [C] _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] I have journeyed [F] _ _ _ through the [Bb] long dark nights
[F] And _ [C] _ [Dm] I've been _ out [C] on life's raging _ seas
And _ _ [Gm] _ _ I was [C] always there, my faith alone
[F] _ _ [C] Never [Dm] was my sight known
But [Bb] _ _ _ [C] always I found his eyes [F] were watching me _ _
[Bb] And the [Gm] [F] anchor holds _
Though the [Bb] ship is battered _
The [C] anchor _ _ _ [C]
holds
Though the [F] sails are _ _ torn
I have fallen _ [Cm] on my _ [F] knees
[Bb] As I face [F] my [Gm] raging sea
The [C] anchor, the anchor would hold
[Bb] _ [C]
In spite [F] of the storm _
I _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb]
had my visions, [F] and as a young man
[Bb] I dreamed big dreams
[F] And _ [C] then one [Dm] day I held them all [C] in my hand
But _ _ [Gm] _ there's one thing [C]
I never knew
And [F] that [C] was someday [Dm] I'd watch them all slip [Bb] through my hands
_ _ [C] _
Like they were only [F] grains of sand
And [Bb] then I met Jesus and the anchor [F] _ _ _ holds
Though the ship [Bb] is _ battered
The [C] anchor _ _ holds
Though the [F] sails are _ torn _
[Bb] And I [F] have fallen on _ [Eb]
my [F] knees
[Bb] As I [F] face my [Gm] raging sea
The [C] anchor _ _ [Bb] [C] holds
In spite [F] of the storm _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] I once was young, and you can see I'm older now
[F] And he's been with me all the way
Together [Dm] we've been through the heat
We've been through the cold
[F] And he's kept me [Gm] [C] all the way
And still the [F] anchor _ holds
Though this old [Bb] ship is battered _
_ _ [C] The anchor _ still [C]
holds
Though these old [F] sails are torn
And [Bb] to this day I [F] have _ _ _ [Cm]
fallen [F] on my knees
[Bb] As I face [F] my [Gm] raging sea
And you can't do
It _ [C] doesn't matter what it is
[Bb] You too will find [C] you'll hold
In spite [Bb] of your _ _ storm
The anchor [F] _ holds _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
