Anchor

Don't want to be a drifter, drifting aimlessly
Don't want to be a sailor, lost at sea
For your hope hope is an anchor steadying me
And your hope is an anchor to my soul

Don't want to be a reed tossed by the wind
Blown around on every wind of doctrine
For your word is truth keeping me still
And your hope is an anchor to my soul

I'm not going to build my house on the sand
I'm not going to sink and and I'm not going to drown
For you are a rock under my feet
And your hope is an anchor to my soul
