[Verse 1]
Anchor of my [F]soul,
You [Am]sustain[F]
[Am]When [Em]I'm in the [Am]storm, Y[F]ou remain
[Am]Good[Em] to m[F]e[Am][C]
Good to [Am]me[F][Am][Em][C]
[Am][Em]
[F][Dm][C]
[Am]An chor of[C] my so[F]ul, You sustain
[C][F]
[C]When [Am]I'm i[C]n the storm,
[F]You remain
[C]You remai[F]n good to me[Am][C][F]
Good to me
[Am]

[Verse 2]
[F]
When [C]it's a quarter past
midnight
And the grey skies fade [F]to black
The waves splash and set me off track
So [C]my vessel might crash
or collapse
When I'm attacked
And start [F]wrestling in my
head with these bad
Memories from my past
[C]I'm aware of my guilt,
overwhelmed
And the smell [F]of my blood has the sharks
That surround me cast
under a spell
They waited [C]for me to fall
but when I fell the water got
Still
And [F]the blood that was spilled
protects me
It's the same blood that cleansed me
[Am]My only defense against my nemesis
Now I can rest knowing [F]that nothing
can come against
Me unless the Father gives consent
Evil [Am]intentions will not disturb
God's purposes or interfere [F]so
Who shall I fear if my Anchor is secure?
[C]Learning to consider it pure joy
when I'm facing tribulations
Prais[F]ing God instead of complaining
or getting overtaken with bitterness
[C]Looking at the pages of the book
of James and seeing
The ways [F]that God works through
the trials to make us more
Mature in our faith,
It [Am]reminds me how desperate I am in
This desert land,
thirsty [F]for your mercy and plan while you
Give me the strength to stand,
You're [Am]my greatest pleasure
Yeah, no matter the weather I face,
Lord [F]you never forsake
My fragile life is safe under

[Verse 3]
your sovereign grace
[C]Anchor of my [F]soul, You sustain
[C][F]
[C]When [Am]I'm i[C]n the storm,
[F]You remain
[C]Goo[F]d to me[Am][C][F]
Good to me
[Am]

[Verse 4]
[F]
At [C]some point every human looks
right in the eyes of agony
[F]And through the tragedy asks himself
how can this happen to me?
[C]You might be the type
with enough insight to hold
On for your dear [F]life but slip
because your grip is not as
Tight as you might like
You [C]ain't immune to it, naw, and if
You true to your[F]self then you
ain't new to it
Trusted in self,
lusted and lured to it
[C]So when the darkness
overwhelms me
And the tide of life rises and [F]swells "It is
Well" is what compels me
When faced [Am]with adversity
your truth
Constantly reminds me that you
[F]command the seas with ease
And with words you're turning wind [Am]to breeze,
it helps me
To understand that we stand
on solid rock not on sink[F]ing
Sand, Through the providence of pain
you perfect your plan
[C]Predestined to be tested
when the works and the Words of
God [F]co operate and educate men
in the great gift of Grace
[C]And Faith, And even though its
obvious when my outlooks
Ominous [F]you've bound my heart
and my conscience and gave me
A constant calmness,
[Am]So when the pain comes like rain from
The parts of life that main[F]tains
its strain I can put my
Trust in the hands that sustain,
[Am]it's profound that with
All these sinking ships around [F]me,
He surrounds me and he

[Verse 5]
Anchors me with his grace abounding
[C]Anchor of [Am]my soul,[C]
[F]You sustai[C]n[F]
[C]When [Am]I'm i[C]n the storm,
[F]You remai[C]n[F]
Good to [Am]me[C][F]
Good [G]to [Am]me[F][Am][F]
[Am]Oh,[F]
You're [Dm]good
[F]to [Am]me[Em][F]
You're good [C]to [Am]me[F]
Good to [Am]me[Em]
