Anchor Of My Soul

ANCHOR OF THE SOUL

Sorrow and death, loneliness and stress

Struggles that won't go away.

Eyes that can't see, locks with no key

Feeling more and more helpless each day.

I face it alone, stand strong in the storm

Yet I keep growing weaker with each wave

I face all my fears, trying to hold back the tears

Until finally under the pressure I cave.

Then a man comes along, gives hope to be strong

Takes all of my burdens away

The storms are still there, but there's someone who cares

And He promises with me He will stay.

So each day I awake and this friend I now take

On my journey that now has a goal

For with Him by my side, I have strength for the ride

Because Jesus is the anchor of my soul.
