Anchor of Hope


I had a few minutes between meetings, errands, and more meetings this afternoon and decided to play some guitar.  I started singing some of my original tunes and felt compelled to share the lyrics of one of my favorites here on the blog.

The words are derived from several passages of scripture and hinge on Psalm 139 and the thought that no matter what we are going through, or what season of life we find ourselves in God is with us, and that’s all the anchor our lives really need.

Anchor of Hope

Down in the valley, You hear my cry
When I’m on the mountain, You pass me by
If I lose my way, You are there to find
In my darkness, the Lighthouse shines

When I am far from the shore and the waves crash against me
When I run from your plans and your love overtakes me
Like an anchor of hope You hold me close
And Your love will shine on through my storms
Like an anchor of hope You hold me close
And Your love will shine on through my storms

When I close my eyes, You hear my prayer
When my heart soars high, You are there
Every time I need Your hand, Your mercy is mine
When I call out Your name, the Lighthouse shines

Oh anchor me, though the seas may roll and winds may blow
You anchor me, though life may seem a torrent sea
You anchor me
You anchor me
You anchor me
