Description: As 2006 comes to a close I selected "The Anchor Holds" as a song of encouragement for those of you going through the storms of life. Enjoy as Ray Boltz sings "The Anchor Holds". I have journeyed Through the long dark night Out on the open sea By faith alone Sight unknown and yet his eyes were watching me CHORUS The anchor holds Though the ship is battered the anchor holds Though the sails are torn I have fallen on my knees As I faced the raging seas The anchor holds In spite of the storm I've had visions I've had dreams I've even held them in my hand but I never knew They would slip right through Like they were only grains of sand CHORUS I have been young but I am older now And there has been beauty these eyes have seen but it was in the night Through the storms of my life Ohh thats where God proved his love to me Ray Boltz is a singer-songwriter in contemporary Christian music, whose songs often tell stories of faith and inspiration. Original Release Date of The Anchor Holds was August 29, 1995.

dmbarry777 ::: Favorites I have posted before, will repost: Google "Lawrence Chewning" as he wrote it when his wife and he experienced what they now call their year of sorrows in 1992. Then Ray Boltz reworked some of the lyrics, shortened it a bit, and added a musical bridge and recorded it for his "Allegiance" project in 1994. 07-10-01 17:57:49 __________________________________________________

Conquer2day ::: Favorites At a time when my boss was trying to frame me for a crime I didn't do, some of the people I worked with tried to set me up by planting drugs in my vehicle and I sat alone in my truck praying, night after night, for the Lord to help me from evil men. This came on the radio and I cried. I held on to Jesus even harder. I survived with the Lords help, they are gone now. God Bless you Ray, in my hour of need. 07-09-30 21:09:54 __________________________________________________
