Christ the Sure and Steady Anchor

Christ the Sure and Steady Anchor Lyrics

Verse 1

Christ the sure and steady anchor

In the fury of the storm

When the winds of doubt blow through me

And my sails have all been torn

Chorus 1

In the suffering in the sorrow

When my sinking hopes are few

I will hold fast to the anchor

It shall never be removed

Verse 2

Christ the sure and steady anchor

While the tempest rages on

When temptation claims the battle

And it seems the night has won

Chorus 2

Deeper still then goes the anchor

Though I justly stand accused

I will hold fast to the anchor

It shall never be removed

Verse 3

Christ the sure and steady anchor

Through the floods of unbelief

Hopeless somehow O my soul now

Lift your eyes to Calvary

Chorus 3

This my ballast of assurance

See His love forever proved

I will hold fast to the anchor

It shall never be removed

Verse 4

Christ the sure and steady anchor

As we face the wave of death

When these trials give way to glory

And we draw our final breath

Chorus 4

We will cross that great horizon

Clouds behind and life secured

And the calm will be the better

For the storms that we endured

Chorus 5

Christ the shore of our salvation

Ever faithful ever true

We will hold fast to the anchor

It shall never be removed

Matthew Boswell, Matthew Papa
