b'Do you want an ANCHOR? \\n\\nAre you anchored on Christ and is your hope in Him or have you fastened your anchor to the things of this life? \\xa0Will your anchor truly hold in the tumultuous tempest of this life by resting and remaining in Christ, body, soul and spirit?\\xa0Will you lay fast hold of that hope set before you? Will you anchor your hope on Christ, or\\xa0will you allow the pain, problems and disappointments of life to overwhelm you\\xa0?\\n\\nSong\\nOur Anchor Is Christ\\nWill your anchor hold in the storms of life,\\nWhen the clouds unfold their wings of strife?\\nWhen the strong tides lift, and the cables strain,\\nWill your anchor drift or firm remain?\\n\\nIt is safely moored, \\u2019twill the storm withstand,\\nFor \\u2019tis well secured by the Saviour\\u2019s hand;\\nAnd the cables, passed from His heart to mine,\\nCan defy that blast, thro\\u2019 strength divine.\\n\\nIt will firmly hold in the straits of fear,\\nWhen the breakers have told the reef is near;\\nTho\\u2019 the tempest rave and the wild winds blow,\\nNot an angry wave shall our barque o\\u2019erflow.\\n\\nWhen our eyes behold thro\\u2019 the gath\\u2019ring night\\nThe city of gold, our harbour bright,\\nWe shall anchor fast by the heav\\u2019nly shore,\\nWith the storms all past forevermore.\\n\\nMay your anchor hold in the storms of this life and may my anchor hold fast too\\u2026 on the Rock of our salvation\\n\\nWe have an Anchor that keeps the soul\\nSteadfast and sure while the billows roll,\\nFastened to the Rock which cannot move,\\nGrounded firm and deep in the Saviour\\u2019s love.'
