Lyrics
"Anchors"
(A Christian Rock Anthem)
(Intro)
Instrumental
[Verse 1]
The wind starts howlin', and the sky turns black,
The world’s on fire, there’s no commin' back,
There’s a Calm in the chaos, a voice in the waves,
A truth eternal, through the darkest days.
[Chorus]
Ohhh Ohhh Anchors Down
Anchors down, were in the stormy seas,
Ohhh Ohhh Anchors Down
Anchors down, this is our victory
(Pre Verse)
The Winds that howl the waves that break,
My anchor holds, it won’t forsake.
[Verse 2]
The world’s got its trends, its fleeting ways,
But truth doesn’t bow, it forever stays.
When the compass spins and you lose your ground,
Those ancient anchors pull you back around.
[Chorus]
Ohhh Ohhh Anchors Down
Anchors down, were in the stormy seas,
Ohhh Ohhh Anchors Down
Anchors down, this is our victory
[Bridge]
Loyalty’s a lighthouse, love’s a chain,
Faith is the anchor that withstands the strain.
Though the water rises and the storms won’t cease,
I’m grounded deep in an ocean of peace.
[Chorus]
Ohhh Ohhh Anchors Down
Anchors down, were in the stormy seas,
Ohhh Ohhh Anchors Down
Anchors down, this is our victory
(Verse 4)
Promises made before time began,
The unshaken rock where we stand.
The world may shout, the doubters may rise,
But faith ain’t swayed by the loudest lies.
[Chorus]
Ohhh Ohhh Anchors Down
Anchors down, were in the stormy seas,
Ohhh Ohhh Anchors Down
Anchors down, this is our victory
(Pre Verse)
Winds that howl and the waves that break,
My anchor holds, it won’t forsake.
Trials fierce and nights long,
God’s steady hand keeps me strong.
Through the night and the weary miles,
God’s mercy smiles.
[Solo – electric guitar wailing over a soulful organ groove]
[Chorus – Full Band Uplift]
Anchors down, in the stormy seas,
God’s hand steadyin’ the breeze.
Moral absolutes, carved in stone,
When the tides pull hard, I’m never alone.
Oh, anchors keep me tethered tight,
Through the long, long night.
[Outro]
So when the world shakes and starts to sway,
I’ve got anchors that won’t drift away.
The stars may fall, the oceans may roar,
But truth and faith are forevermore.
Anchors hold, through the storm and strife,
They’re the constant threads in the fabric of life.
[Verse 3]
Through every storm, through fire and rain,
The cross still stands, it won’t be chained.
[Pre-Chorus 3]
Through shifting sands and hearts that roam,
His truth remains—our steadfast home.
Moral absolutes, carved in stone,
When the tides pull hard, I’m never alone.
[Pre-Chorus]
While seasons shift and rivers bend,
Some things hold firm, they never end.
[Pre-Chorus]
