Sometimes life can seem full of roadblocks and obstacles. We just think we’ve settled into a routine and some surprise comes along and shakes things up. Sometimes these bumps in the road simply cause nuisance and annoyance, but sometimes they really change the course of our lives.
When you don’t know what’s around the corner, it’s helpful to know who’s walking with you. Even as an anchor is important to keep a ship in one place during a storm, knowing that we can anchor our lives in Jesus helps us to maintain our course when the storms of life arise.
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 gath’ring o’er,
I rest upon His mercy and trust Him more.
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 pow’r to save
I’ve anchored in the Rock of Ages.
He keeps my soul from evil, and gives me blessed 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.
He is my Friend and Savior, in Him my anchor’s cast
He drives away my sorrows, and shields me from the blast
By faith I’m looking upward, beyond life’s troubled sea
There I behold a haven prepared for me
