I took a walk down to the harbor
I even watched a ship come in
And all those lights upon the water, sh-immering
These empty streets once thronged with p-eople
Before the houses had all gone
And fathers rose to queue for work, bef-ore the d-awn
And every m-eal upon the table
Bore testimony to their days
Spent working h-ard upon a ship, from far aw-ay
~Chorus~
Tell m-e the old old story
Of J-esus and His love
And w-ill your anchor hold you, i-n the flood
Upon the church steps stood a preacher
He cried redemption to the d-ocks
And all his words fell just like honey, o-n a r-ock
Hearts made stony by those hard times
And steelyed eyes and windswept face
Were softened by his stories of, amazing grace
From two and three to many th-ousands
Redemption fell upon the l-and
The tiger lay before the lion, a-nd the l-amb
~Chorus~
And I will never be a sailor
But maybe if I take my, stand
Perhaps I’ll see revival fall, upon our l-and
Now I’ve come looking for adv-enture
And its adventure I have found
Since first I set my feet upon, Your holy gr-ound
I took a walk down to the h-arbor
I even watched a ship c-ome in
And all its lights upon the water, sh-immering
~Chorus~
But I have an anchor
That k-eeps m-y soul
St-eadfast and sure
While those b-illows roll
It’s fastened t-o the rock
Which c-ann-ot move
Grounded firm and deep
In my S-avior’s bl-ood
W-e have an anchor
That k-eeps o-ur soul
Steadfast and sure
Wh-ile those b-illows roll
It’s fastened t-o a rock
Which c-ann-ot m-ove
Grounded firm and deep
In the S-avior’s bl-ood
