[G]
[D] I have found,
[G] as I have [D] journeyed
[G] through this long, this long dark [D] night of life,
[A]
[F#m] [Bm] seeming [E] sometimes that I was out on [A] the open sea,
[G] by faith alone, [A] sight [D] unknown,
[C#m]
[Bm]
[G] and yet somehow I knew
[A] His eyes [D] were watching me.
[A] [Bm] The [D] anchor holds, though the ship [G] is battered,
The [A] anchor holds, though the sail [D] are torn,
I [G] have [D] fallen on my knees, [C] [D] as [G] I faced [D] this raging [Em] sea.

[D] that those dreams [E] could slip [Bm] right through,
[G] like they were only
[E] [A] tiny grains
[D] of sand.
[A] The [D] anchor holds, though the ship [G] is [D] battered,
[G] The [A] anchor holds, though the sail [D] are torn,

[Em] [D]
[G] Now I've been young,
[Em]
[D] and I'm older now, yes.
[Bm] There has even been some beauty
[A] that these eyes have seen.
[G] But it was in the night that [D] I faced the storms, [A] the storms [Bm] of life.
[G] But that's where God
[Em] proved His love, proved [A] it to me.
Yes He did.
The [D] anchor holds, yes it does, the ship
[G] be battered.
The [A] anchor holds, though the sails [D] are torn,
[G] I have [D] fallen [F#m] on [D] my knees, [C] [D] as [G] I faced [D] this raging [Em] sea.
The [A] anchor holds, despite [D] the storm,
I [G] have [D] fallen on my knees, [C] [D] as [G] I faced this [D] raging [Em] sea.
The anchor [A] holds, yes it does, yes it does, despite the [G]
storm.
[D]
