[Verse 1] Black sky breaking over gray waves Old hull groaning in the deep Cold spray biting at my torn hands Fear keeps stealing all my sleep I hear thunder in the distance Feel my tattered courage fail Then a name cuts through the howling Like a lantern in the gale [Chorus] You’re my anchor in the storm Lord Hold me fast Don’t let me go When the waves climb high above me You are faithful in the foam Though the wind may tear my sails Lord Though I’m far away from shore I will shout it through the tempest You’re my anchor in the storm [Verse 2] Salt-stained pages of Your promise Tied and wrapped in canvas cloth Hands shake But I pry them open Find a cross beneath the frost You once walked upon these waters Calmed the terror Stilled the roar If You conquered death’s dark ocean What is this I’m trembling for? [Chorus] You’re my anchor in the storm Lord Hold me fast Don’t let me go When the waves climb high above me You are faithful in the foam Though the wind may tear my sails Lord Though I’m far away from shore I will shout it through the tempest You’re my anchor in the storm [Bridge - soft, melodic] If I sink beneath the billows You will dive to pull me near (pull me near) If I’m dashed on jagged shallows You can heal each wound and fear So I raise my ragged banner Over flood and over foam (over floods) Till the harbor lights of heaven Call this drifting heart back home (call me home) [Chorus] You’re my anchor in the storm Lord Hold me fast Don’t let me go When the waves climb high above me You are faithful in the foam Though the wind may tear my sails Lord Though I’m far away from shore I will sing it into glory You’re my anchor in the storm
