I love this song, I love the meaning of this song and I pray that it will touch a heart in need as it has touched mine this morning.
I have journeyed
Through the long, dark night
Out on the open sea
By faith alone
Sight unknown
And yet His eyes were watching me
The anchor holds
Though the ship is battered
The anchor holds
Though the sails are torn
I have fallen on my knees
As I faced the raging seas
The anchor holds
In spite of the storm
I’ve had visions
I’ve had dreams
I’ve even held them in my hand
But I never knew
They would slip right through
Like they were only grains of sand
I have been young
But I am older now
And there has been beauty
That these eyes have seen
But it was in the night
Through the storms of my life
Oh, that’s where God proved
His love to me
The anchor holds
Though the ship is battered
The anchor holds
Though the sails are torn
I have fallen on my knees
As I faced the raging seas
The anchor holds
In spite of the storm.
Today as I sat in prayer, this song kept running through my mind, the words seem to burn into my brain and I knew that my father in heaven needed me to put the words out here for all to see, I know that the anchor does hold, in the times in my l life that I have been washed out to sea, when I have been tossed and turned by the massive waves of evil, as I have been dipped under the water, each time taking longer to come up for air....the anchor has held. I have been in the rages of life, I have lived what I was sure would be my last day, I have thrown my angry hands up toward the heavens and accused him of not being there with me, not protecting me, not making it "easy" but as I look on those moments now...you know they say hind sight is 20/20...I thank him, I stand and honor his decisions...if I had not been where I have been I would not be who I am...I love me, I still have so much work to do to be "right" in his eyes, the big picture however: Each day that I am given another chance, I am going to take it. If you are feeling as if you have been tossed out of the boat in a raging storm, take a deep breath, begin a conversation with our father in heaven and allow him to be your anchor. No matter what you are going through...you will overcome it with faith and with love. Today don't tell God how big your problem is, tell your problem how big your God is:) May this day be filled with awakenings in you, may you see the reason to the rhyme in your life and may you never, ever, blame it on God, may you never, ever, turn your back, may you each and every day know he is there for you, he loves you , and he will carry you when you are to weak to carry yourself. Love in the name of the Savior, Jesus Christ...Amen.
