Will Your Anchor Hold?

Walking behind someone on Wednesday afternoon, a quote on her t-shirt caught the Swallow's gaze.

"Life's strongest storms prove the strength of our anchors."

An apt reminder. With Jesus by her side, the Swallow can and will be able to go through life's strongest storms. Not only that, with Jesus by her side, she only needs ONE strong anchor - Jesus only.


WE HAVE AN ANCHOR by Priscilla J Owens (1829-1907)

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?
Will your anchor hold in the straits of fear?
When the breakers roar and the reef is near;
While the surges rave, and the wild winds blow,
Shall the angry waves then your bark o'erflow?

Chorus:
We have an anchor that keeps the soul
Steadfast and sure while the billows roll
Fastened to the Rock which cannot move
Grounded firm and deep in the Saviour's love.

It is safely moored, it will the storm withstand,
For it's well secured by the Saviour's hand
Though the tempest rage and the wild winds blow
Not an angry wave shall our bark o'erflow.
When our eyes behold through the gathering night
The city of gold, our harbour bright
We shall anchor fast by the heavenly shore
With the storms all past forevermore.
