Beautiful Songs

Ok, time to get the hymnal, or as I prefer "the song book" out.

776......Seven hundred seventy-six. "Will Your Anchor Hold"

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?

It is safely moored, 'twill the storm withstand, for 'tis well secured by the saviors hand. And the cables passed from His heart to mine, Can defy the blast, thro' strength divine.

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

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 with-in the veil.

When our eyes behold thro' the gathring night The city of gold, our harbor bright, We shall anchor fast by the heav'nly shore, With the storm all past for evermore.

REFRAIN We have an anchor that keeps the soul Steadfast and sure while the billows roll, Fastened to the Rock which can not move, Grounded firm and deep in the Savior's love.


I have probably only sang this song 100 times in my life. But for some reason the words hit me this morning. Caused a tear or two to roll.

947....nine hundred forty-seven. "Jesus, Let us come to know you"

Jesus let us come to know You. Let us see You face to face. Touch us, use us, mold us: Only let is live in You.

Jesus draw us ever nearer; Hold us in Your loving arms. Wrap us in Your gentle presence, When the end comes, bring us home.

What more can you add to life from these two songs? Awesome prayers!

Have a good day!!
