Music and words by Matt Papa and Matt Boswell
Christ, the sure and steady anchor,
In the fury of the storm;
When the winds of doubt blow through me,
And my sails have all been torn.
In the suffering, in the sorrow,
When my sinking hopes are few,
I will hold fast to the anchor;
It shall never be removed.
Christ, the sure and steady anchor,
While the tempest rages on;
When temptation claims the battle,
And it seems the night has won,
Deeper still then goes the anchor.
Though I justly stand accused,
I will hold fast to the anchor;
It shall never be removed.
Christ, the sure and steady anchor,
Through the floods of unbelief;
Hopeless, somehow, O my soul, now
Lift your eyes to Calvary.
This my ballast of assurance:
See His love forever proved.
All my hope is in the anchor;
It shall never be removed.
Christ, the sure and steady anchor,
As we face the wave of death;
When these trials give way to glory
As we draw our final breath.
We will cross that great horizon,
Clouds behind and life secured;
And the calm will be the better
For the storms that we endured.
Christ, the shore of our salvation,
Ever faithful ever true.
We will hold fast to the anchor;
It shall never be removed.
