Hello Jesus Life
A dark storm cloud moving across the sky over open water

Gospel

Anchor in the Storm

Hello Jesus Life Worship

A gospel song with a driving rhythm and a choir-led bridge, written for anyone holding on through a storm that has not yet passed. It draws on the night Jesus stood up in a sinking boat and spoke peace to the sea.

Streaming for this song is coming soon.

Lyrics

Verse 1

Well, the sky turned black on the water, And the waves came over the side; I was bailing out with my bare hands, Lord, And I didn't know where to hide.

Chorus

Oh, you're my anchor in the storm, Holding deep beneath the waves; When the wind is tearing at the sails, You're the One who stays. Let the dark come down, let the cold rain fall, I won't be carried away; You're my anchor in the storm, And you're the One who stays.

Verse 2

You stood up in the middle of the midnight, And you spoke to the wind and the sea, And the same voice that said, Peace, be still, Is the voice that is speaking to me.

Bridge

A very present help, A very present help, In the middle of the trouble, You're a very present help. You're my refuge, you're my strength, You're a very present help.
