I've Anchored in Jesus
1)
Upon life's boundless ocean where mighty billows roll,
I've fixed my hope in Jesus, blest anchor of my soul;
When trials fierce assail me as storms are gathering o'er,
I rest upon His mercy and trust Him more.
2)
He keeps my soul from evil and gives me bless�d peace,
His voice hath stilled the waters and bid their tumult cease;
My Pilot and Deliverer, to Him I all confide,
For always when I need Him, He's at my side.
3)
He is my Friend and Savior, in Him my anchor's cast,
He drives away my sorrows and shields me from the blast;
My faith I'm looking upward beyond life's troubled sea,
There I behold a haven prepared for me.
Refrain
I've anchored in Jesus, the storms of life I'll brave,
I've anchored in Jesus, I fear no wind or wave.
I've anchored in Jesus, for He hath power to save,
I've anchored to the Rock of Ages.
