Gospel Song - The Anchor Holds Chords

_ _ _ Right now we have a young lady that lives in Paulsbo, Washington.
We taped her up at the Woodland Assembly of God a long time ago.
This clip has never been on Strolling Down Memory Lane before.
I don't know why, because it's a great song, and Jackie does a great, great job singing it.
Deborah.
Deborah, I'm sorry.
Deborah.
Deborah [E] Jocola.
Her daughter's _ name_
I want to_
Kayla or whatever her name is.
Jackie, I want to name it.
But anyway, this is Deborah Jocola.
Yes.
And she's going to do a great job, and this song's going to bless your heart
if you listen to the words to it.
So come on, and bless these people with a song entitled,
The Anchor Holds.
I _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ [F#m] _ [E] _ _
_ [A] have _ journeyed
[E] _
through the long, [A] dark night
[E] _ _ _
[B] _ [C#m] out on the _ [B] sea.
_ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _
My [E] [B] faith, the most _ [E] _ _
[G#m] I've [C#m] ever known,
_ _ _ [A] _
and yet [B] here's a_
_ [E] Watching me,
_ [A] _ the [E] anchor hold.
_ _ Though the ship [A] is _
_ [D] [A] battered,
the anchor_
[B] _ _
[E] _ _ [B] _ Though the sails [E] are torn,
_ _ _ _ I_ _ _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ [E] _ [A] As I face [E] the [F#m] raging sea,
the [B] anchor holds
[C#m] in [B] _ _ spite [E] of the storm.
_ [A] _ _ _ [B] _ [E] _ _
Now [A] I've had visions,
_ _ [E] _
and I've [A] had dreams.
_ [E] _ _
[B] I've even [C#m] held them in my [B] _
hand,
[E] _ [B] _ _ _ _ [F#] _
but I [E] never [B] knew
_ _ [E] they [B] would slip [C#m] right through
_ _ [A] like they [B] were only
_ [E] grains of sand.
_ [A] _ [B] The anchor [E] _ _
holds.
Though the [A] ship's been _
_ [D] [A] battered,
the anchor [B] holds.
_ _ _ Though the sails [E] are torn,
_ [A] _ [E] _ _ I_ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ [E] As [A] I face [E] the raging [F#m] sea,
the [B] anchor holds
[C#m] the [B] anchor_
In spite [E] of the storm,
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [B] _ [E] _
I [A] open [E] now,
_ _ _ [C#m] _
and there has been beauty
these eyes have [B] seen.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] Through [B] the stones in [E] my life,
_ _ [A] _
oh, that's where [F#m] God
proved his love [B] for _ _ me.
The anchor [E] holds. _
_ [A] _ [E] _ Though the [A] ship's been battered,
[D] _ [A] _ the anchor_
[B] _ _
_ [E] _ [B] _ [C#m] Though the sails [E] are torn,
_ _ _ I have fallen.
_ _ In _ [A] spite of the [E] _ _ [F#m] storm,
I open now,
and there [B] has been beauty
the anchor holds.
_ [A] _ [B] _ In spite [E] of the storm,
_ _ _ _ [B] I [E] have fallen.
_ _ [Bm] _ _ [E] As [A] I face [E] the [F#m] raging sea,
the [B] anchor holds.
_ [D#] _ [B] _ In spite [A] of the storm,
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ Praise the Lord, the anchor holds. _ _ _
[D] _ The anchor holds.
Somebody wanted to request that song a while back,
and we put a life on us.
We can't figure out who it was.
Somebody wrote in or called in
and wanted somebody to do that song.
Well, anyway, if you're out there listening,
and I don't think you'll hear it sang much prettier
than what Debra sang that song for you.
She lives in Pawsbo, Washington.
If you want to get ahold of her, get ahold of us,
and we'll tell you how to get ahold of her, okay? _ _
