Anchor (feat. Josh Garrels)

Anchor - Beautiful Eulogy
Anchor of my soul – You sustain
When I'm in the storm  You remain
Good to me  good to me
When it's a quarter past midnight
And the gray skies fade to black
The waves splash and set me off track
So my vessel might crash or collapse
When I'm attacked and start wrestlin' in my head
With these bad memories from my past
I'm aware of my guilt  overwhelmed and the smell of my blood
Has the sharks that surround me cast under a spell
They waited for me to fall  but when I fell the water got still
And the blood that was spilled protects me – it's the same blood that cleansed me
My only defense against my nemesis
Now I can rest knowing that nothing can come against me
Unless the Father gives consent
Evil intentions will not disturb God's purposes or interfere
So who shall I fear if my anchor is secure
Learning to consider it pure joy
When I'm facing tribulations – praising God instead of complaining
And getting overtaken with bitterness
Looking at the pages of the book of James and seein the ways
That God works through the trials to make us more mature in our faith
And it reminds me how desperate I am in this desert land
Thirsty for Your mercy and plan while You give me the strength to stand
You're my greatest pleasure  yeah
No matter the weather I face  Lord
You never forsake my fragile life- I'm safe under Your sovereign grace
Anchor of my soul - You sustain
When I'm in the storm  You remain  You remain
Good to me  good to me
At some point every human looks right in the eyes of agony
And through 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 slipping cause your grip is not as tight as you might like
You ain't immune to it  naw
And if you're true to yourself then you ain't new to it
Trusted and self lusted and lured to it
So when the darkness overwhelms me
And a tide of lies 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 turn a wind to breeze
Helps me understand that we stand on a solid Rock  not on sinking sand
Through the providence of pain You perfect Your plan
Pre-destined  we test it
When the works and words of God cooperate
And educate men in a great gift of grace and faith -
That even though it's obvious when my outlook's ominous
You bound my heart and my conscious
And gave me a constant calmness
So when the pain comes like rain
From the parts of life that maintains it's 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
Anchor of my soul - You sustain
When I'm in the storm  You remain  You remain
Good to me  good to me
Oh Lord
Good to me  good to me
Good to me
