VERSE 1
 
Christ, the
sure and steady
Anchor
 
In
A/C# 
the
Bm 
fury
A/C# 
of the
storm
 
When the
winds of doubt blow
through me
 
And my
sails have all been
A7 
torn
D/F# 
In the
suffering, in the
D/F# 
sorrow
 
When my
sinking
hopes are
Bm 
few
 
I will
hold
fast to the
A/C# 
An-
Bm 
chor
 
It shall
never
be removed
 
TURNAROUND

VERSE 2
 
Christ, the
sure and steady
Anchor
 
While
A/C# 
the
Bm 
tempest
A/C# 
rages
on
 
When temp
tation claims the
battle
 
And it
eems the night has
A7 
won
D/F# 
Deeper
still then goes the
D/F# 
Anchor
 
Though I
justly
stand ac
Bm 
cused
 
I will
hold
fast to the
A/C# 
An-
Bm 
chor
 
It shall
never
be removed
 
TURNAROUND

VERSE 3
 
Christ, the
Bm 
sure and steady
Bm 
Anchor
 
Through the
floods of
unbe
Bm 
lief
 
Hopeless
Bm 
somehow, O my
Bm 
soul
 
Now lift your
eyes to Calva
A7 
ry
D/F# 
This my
ballast of as
D/F# 
surance
 
See His
love for
ever
Bm 
proved
 
I will
hold
fast to the
A/C# 
An-
Bm 
chor
 
It shall
never
be removed
 
TURNAROUND

VERSE 4
 
Christ, the
sure and steady
Anchor
 
As we
face the
wave of
death
 
When these
trials give way to
glory
 
As we
draw our final
A7 
breath
D/F# 
We will
cross that great hor
D/F# 
izon
 
Clouds be
hind and
life se
Bm 
cure
 
And the
calm
will be the
A/C# 
bet-
Bm 
ter
 
For the
storms that
we en
dure
 
TAG
 
Christ, the
shore of our
D/F# 
salvation
 
Ever
faithful,
ever
Bm 
true
Bm 
 
I will
hold
fast to the
A/C# 
An-
Bm 
chor
 
It shall
never
be removed
