The tempest with its raging waves and fierce winds is a great metaphor for the anxious and uncertain times we can face in life.
I love this song and the strong affirmation that in the midst of all the difficult and anxious times we can cry: " Alleluia, Jesus, Lord of all!"
Anchor for My Soul
Josh Garrels
[Verse 1]
I have seen enough to know
That Your love's the only anchor for my soul
So please, don't You ever let me go
If You do I will be lost forever, Lord
Swept away by the waves of the storm
[Chorus]
O Lord of the wind and the waves
If You're with us we will not be afraid
No storm can ever separate us from Jesus, You're mighty to save
All of those who will call on Your name
[Post-Chorus]
Alleluia, Jesus, Lord of all
Alleluia, Jesus, lead us on
And on and on, on and on
[Verse 2]
When I thought that all was lost
I cried to the Lord, "Rescue me!"
And like a ghost You appeared
Walking on the turbulent sea
And You said, "Oh my child, follow Me"
[Chorus]
O Lord of the wind and the waves
If You're with us we will not be afraid
No storm can ever separate us from Jesus, You're mighty to save
All of those who will call on Your name
[Post-Chorus]
Alleluia, Jesus, Lord of all
Alleluia, Jesus, lead us on
Alleluia, Jesus, Lord of all
Alleluia, Jesus, lead us on
And on and on, on and on
And on and on, on and on
I have seen enough to know
That Your love's the only anchor for my soul
So please, don't You ever let me go
If You do I will be lost forever, Lord
Swept away by the waves of the storm
[Chorus]
O Lord of the wind and the waves
If You're with us we will not be afraid
No storm can ever separate us from Jesus, You're mighty to save
All of those who will call on Your name
[Post-Chorus]
Alleluia, Jesus, Lord of all
Alleluia, Jesus, lead us on
And on and on, on and on
[Verse 2]
When I thought that all was lost
I cried to the Lord, "Rescue me!"
And like a ghost You appeared
Walking on the turbulent sea
And You said, "Oh my child, follow Me"
[Chorus]
O Lord of the wind and the waves
If You're with us we will not be afraid
No storm can ever separate us from Jesus, You're mighty to save
All of those who will call on Your name
[Post-Chorus]
Alleluia, Jesus, Lord of all
Alleluia, Jesus, lead us on
Alleluia, Jesus, Lord of all
Alleluia, Jesus, lead us on
And on and on, on and on
And on and on, on and on
