Anchor My Soul

The world is full of crashing waves.
Each wave unmerciful as it builds then caves.

The winds come and upset the sea.
It wants to see how weak and human we can be.

Currents come to pull us away.
With all of their might, they hope we will stray.

It often turns violent as it thrashes toward us.
After all, when we stand so strong, who can ignore us?

Many drift as they are pulled in.
Will we too be overcome with the movement of sin?

Oh, no! On the contrary.
We have a hope that is beyond ordinary.

Yeah, the waves crash and the winds roar.
But we are unmoved because of our hope, an anchor.

An anchor dug deep into the foundation of Power.
An anchor so strong that even the most intimidating waves cower.

This anchor is secure, a firm weight for our souls.
We cannot be plucked up no matter how set evil is in its goals.

We cannot be pushed and we cannot be beat.
This anchor pulls every threatening wave down and places it beneath our feet.

We won't be tossed to and from with the rocking of the sea.
We will rise above the waters as an example of our King.

So crash and roar all the more!
Just remember, who has ever had victory over our Anchor?

And for those steadfast, what's in store?!
The kingdom of Heaven, which is on the shore!
