Will your anchor hold in the storms of life, When the clouds unfold their wings of strife? When the strong tides lift, and the cables strain, Will your anchor drift or firm remain?

It is safely moored, ’twill the storm withstand, For ’tis well secured by the Savior’s hand; And the cables passed from His heart to mine, Can defy the blast, through strength divine.

It will firmly hold in the straits of fear, When the breakers have told the reef is near; Though the tempest rave and the wild winds blow, Not an angry wave shall our bark o’erflow.

It will surely hold in the floods of death, When the waters cold chill our latest breath; On the rising tide it can never fail, While our hopes abide within the veil.

It's been over 30 years since I last heard this song, but last week God brought it back into my heart during a small group meeting. I bought a copy from iTunes, and it brings me tears of joy over and over.
I woke up with this song in my heart. Jesus is the anchor in any situation. He gives us an unshakable hope that no matter the height, width or depth of any storm, we are able to rise above it. Glory be to God who always makes us to triumph through Christ Jesus.
Jesus Christ is our only strong anchor, no matter the storms🌩⛈ of life, with Christ in our life, we are a sure of firm ground nd divine peace☁️⛅🌝🌝 ahead of us. Powerful song. May God continue to strengthen us with songs life this. All we need is Jesus on our side and nothing less. Thank you. Bishop Solo🙏
A song during test and trials, our foundation in Christ will determine how well we can stand the storms of life. With Christ as our anchor no matter how tough or difficult the storm is we will always overcome. Do not give up during this testing period for your deliverance is just a second away.
The original version of this hymn is much much better, why have the words been changed? One of my favourite hymns - please respect the writer and use the original words.
Been troubled all my life about what life really meant, I have always assumed life to be the hardest puzzle ever known, I have always seem myself in a maze I never would escape from........ I think I just got delivered by this hymn... Jehovah will continually be Jehovah.... It’s so amazing seeing comments of beautiful people from all over the world, I LOVE YOU ALL.
