[Verse 1]

E                 A           B         E

Will your anchor hold in the storms of life,

           B                       F#   B

When the clouds unfold their wings of strife?

           E           B                   E

When the strong tides lift and the cables strain,

                   A        B     E

Will your anchor drift, or firm remain?

[Chorus]

                         A        E

We have an anchor that keeps the soul

                                      B

Steadfast and sure while the billows roll,

    E                              A

Fastened to the Rock which cannot move,

  B                    A         B      E

Grounded firm and deep in the Savior’s love.

[Verse 2]

E              A                  B         E

It is safely moored, ’twill the storm withstand,

          B                       F#   B

For ’tis well secured by the Savior’s hand;

         E        B                       E

And the cables, passed from His heart to mine,

               A                   B    E

Can defy that blast, thro’ strength divine.


[Chorus]

                         A        E

We have an anchor that keeps the soul

                                      B

Steadfast and sure while the billows roll,

    E                              A

Fastened to the Rock which cannot move,

  B                    A         B      E

Grounded firm and deep in the Savior’s love.

[Verse 3]

E               A            B         E

It will surely hold in the Straits of Fear

           B                              F#  B

When the breakers have told that the reef is near;

            E       B                       E

Though the tempest rave and the wild winds blow,

        A                    B       E

Not an angry wave shall our bark o’erflow.


[Chorus]

                         A        E

We have an anchor that keeps the soul

                                      B

Steadfast and sure while the billows roll,

    E                              A

Fastened to the Rock which cannot move,

  B                    A         B      E

Grounded firm and deep in the Savior’s love.

[Verse 4]

E               A           B         E

It will firmly hold in the Floods of Death

           B                       F#   B

When the waters cold chill our latest breath,

        E      B                 E

On the rising tide it can never fail,

                 A            B   E

While our hopes abide within the Veil.


[Chorus]

                         A        E

We have an anchor that keeps the soul

                                      B

Steadfast and sure while the billows roll,

    E                              A

Fastened to the Rock which cannot move,

  B                    A         B      E

Grounded firm and deep in the Savior’s love.

[Verse 5]

E                A                 B         E

When our eyes behold through the gath’ring night

            B             F#   B

The city of gold, our harbor bright,

           E     B                    E

We shall anchor fast by the heav’nly shore,

                A          B     E

With the storms all past forevermore.


[Chorus]

                         A        E

We have an anchor that keeps the soul

                                      B

Steadfast and sure while the billows roll,

    E                              A

Fastened to the Rock which cannot move,

  B                    A         B      E

Grounded firm and deep in the Savior’s love.
