Will your anchor hold in the storms of life,
When the clouds unfold their wings of strife?
When the strong tides lift, and the cables strain,
Will your anchor drift or firm remain?
When the clouds unfold their wings of strife?
When the strong tides lift, and the cables strain,
Will your anchor drift or firm remain?
We have an anchor that keeps the soul
Stedfast and sure while the billows roll,
Fastened to the Rock which cannot move,
Grounded firm and deep in the Savior’s love.
Stedfast and sure while the billows roll,
Fastened to the Rock which cannot move,
Grounded firm and deep in the Savior’s love.

It is safely moored, ’twill the storm withstand,
For ’tis well secured by the Savior’s hand;
And the cables passed from His heart to mine,
Can defy the blast, through strength divine.
For ’tis well secured by the Savior’s hand;
And the cables passed from His heart to mine,
Can defy the blast, through strength divine.

It will firmly hold in the straits of fear,
When the breakers have told the reef is near;
Though the tempest rave and the wild winds blow,
Not an angry wave shall our bark o’erflow.
When the breakers have told the reef is near;
Though the tempest rave and the wild winds blow,
Not an angry wave shall our bark o’erflow.

It will surely hold in the floods of death,
When the waters cold chill our latest breath;
On the rising tide it can never fail,
While our hopes abide within the veil.
When the waters cold chill our latest breath;
On the rising tide it can never fail,
While our hopes abide within the veil.

This is not just a song, ask yourself this sincere question. Will your anchor hold?
Because while on this journey, if God help us to live long enough, that moment when this question will come staring at you in the face begging for answer will definitely come.

I learnt this song from middle school and sang it all the way thru high school. I would say when I sung it back in the day, I didn’t really reflect on the lyrics but as I got older, I realize how motivational these simple words could be during the many adversities life throws at us.

This song had always been an inspiration to me since the sixties. When am down and have no one to give me words of uplifting I just sing it over and over

I learnt this song back then in secondary school (Mayflower School, Ikenne, Ogun State) co-owned by Californian Madam Sheila Solarin and Nigerian Tai Solarin. The most prestigious high in Nigeria.

I learned it as a kid in The Band Of Hope in Scotland, it still resonates in my heart any time I feel down it cheers me up

We have an anchor that keeps the soul
Stedfast and sure while the billows roll,
Fastened to the Rock which cannot move,
Grounded firm and deep in the Savior’s love.
This is true. Though I passed through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil.
