Matt Boswell and Matt Papa

Order

Verse 1

 Christ  the  sC ure  and  steady  anchor
 in  the F fury  of  the  sC torm;
 when  the  wC inds  of  doubt  blow Am through  me,
 and  my G sails  have  all  been G7 torn.
 In  the F suffering,  in  the C sorrow,
 when  my F sinking  hopes  are Am few,
 I  will  hC old  fast  to  the Am anchor,
 it  shall  nG ever  be  remC oved. C       Am        F 

Verse 2

 Christ  the  sC ure  and  steady  anchor
 while  the  tF empest  rages C on;
 when  temptC ation  claims  the Am battle,
 and  it  sG eems  the  night  has G7 won.
 Deeper  stF ill,  then,  goes  the C anchor,
 though  I F justly  stand  acAm cused;
 I  will C hold  fast  to  the Am anchor,
 it  shall  nG ever  be  remC oved. C       Am        F 

Verse 3

 Christ  the C sure  and  steady  anchor,
 through  the F floods  of  unbeC lief;
 hopeless C somehow,  o  my Am soul  now,
 lift  your G eyes  to  CalvarG7 y!
 This  my F ballast  of  assC urance,
 see  His F love  forever  pAm roved;
 I  will  hC old  fast  to  the Am anchor,
 it  shall  nG ever  be  remC oved. C       Am        F 

Verse 4

 Christ  the  sC ure  and  steady  anchor,
 as  we  fF ace  the  wave  of  dC eath;
 when  these  trC ials  give  way  to Am glory,
 as  we  drG aw  our  final  brG7 eath.
 We  will  crF oss  that  great  horC izon,
 clouds  behF ind  and  life  secAm ure;
 and  the  cC alm  will  be  the  bAm etter,
 for  the  sG torms  that  we  endC ure.
