Anchor Lyrics

[Hook: Josh Garrels]
Anchor of my soul, You sustain
When I'm in the storm, You remain
Good to me
Good to me

[Verse 2: Odd Thomas]
At some point every human looks right in the eyes of agony
And through the tragedy asks himself how can this happen to me?
You might be the type with enough insight to hold
On for your dear life but slip because your grip is not as
Tight as you might like
You ain't immune to it, naw, and if
You true to yourself then you ain't new to it
Trusted in self, lusted and lured to it
So when the darkness overwhelms me
And the tide of life rises and swells "It is Well" is what compels me
.
When faced with adversity your truth
Constantly reminds me that you command the seas with ease
And with words you're turning wind to breeze.
It helps me
To understand that we stand on solid rock not on sinking
Sand.
Through the providence of pain you perfect your plan
Predestined to be tested when the works and the Words of
God cooperate and educate men in the great gift of Grace
And Faith. And even though its obvious when my outlooks
Ominous you've bound my heart and my conscience and gave me
A constant calmness. So when the pain comes like rain from
The parts of life that maintains its strain I can put my
Trust in the hands that sustain. It's profound that with
All these sinking ships around me, He surrounds me and he
Anchors me with his grace abounding
[Hook: Josh Garrels]
Anchor of my soul, You sustain
You sustain
When I'm in the storm, You remain
You remain
Good to me
Good to me
Oh, You're good to me
You're good to me
Good to me

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

This is a very deep song about the anchor we have in Christ, as described in the book of Hebrews. Both Braille and Odd Thomas describe points in their lives where they grow weary and feel burdened, but in the end they look to the light of Christ and use Him to sustain them.

Liner notes:

We had an idea for a song called “Anchor” inspired by the great hymn “It Is Well With My Soul”. We laid down a rough draft but it wasn’t until Josh Garrels added his vocals that the song came to life. We re-arranged the sequence, re-composed the music, added cello (played by a 13-year-old, Daniel Seavey) and it goes a little something like this (hit it!)
