You’re the Lord Almighty / Your every word is sure / And in Your love unfailing / I’m safe when oceans roar / Yes, I’m safe when oceans roar / My anchor, forever / My shelter within the storm / You’re my deliverer / You never falter / You’re the rock I stand on / Here within the struggle / And every crashing wave / You are more than able / Your hand is strong to save / I hold on to You / And You hold on to me / Jesus, I hold on to You / And You hold on to me

Behind the Song:“‘My Anchor’ was written with Jason Ingram, and we’ve been friends with Jason for probably 12 or 14 years. [We were] on staff at a church with him for a while, so getting to write with Jason is always fun. A lot of times a writing session will start out with a good conversation about the state of the Church, what the culture’s like, what the world’s like right now. We’ll just talk about what God’s doing in our nation. We’ll talk about stuff that bothers us on social media. Then often what happens is we’ll pray. We’ll say, ‘Jesus, in light of everything we just talked about, what do you want to say to the Church? What do you want to say to us? What do you want us to lead the Church in?’ That’s a powerful prayer, and that’s what we did the day we wrote ‘My Anchor’… I feel like ‘My Anchor’ is just something that this generation needs to sing. I saw it at Passion when I led it. You could tell it was something they were ready to sing in the moment.”
