Lyrics Beautiful Eulogy

Beautiful Eulogy

Anchor

Anchor of my soul, You sustain

When I'm in the storm, You remain

Good to me

Good to me

Anchor of my soul, You sustain

When I'm in the storm, You remain

You remain good to me

Good to me

When it's a quarter past midnight

And the grey skies fade to black

The waves splash and set me off track

So my vessel might crash or collapse

When I'm attacked

And start wrestling in my head with these bad

Memories from my past

I'm aware of my guilt, overwhelmed

And the smell of my blood has the sharks

That surround me cast under a spell

They waited for me to fall but when I fell the water got

Still

And the blood that was spilled protects me

It's the same blood that cleansed me

My only defense against my nemesis

Now I can rest knowing that nothing can come against

Me unless the Father gives consent

Evil intentions will not disturb God's purposes or interfere so

Who shall I fear if my Anchor is secure?

Learning to consider it pure joy when I'm facing tribulations

Praising God instead of complaining or getting overtaken with bitterness

Looking at the pages of the book of James and seeing

The ways that God works through the trials to make us more

Mature in our faith. It reminds me how desperate I am in

This desert land, thirsty for your mercy and plan while you

Give me the strength to stand. You're my greatest pleasure

Yeah, no matter the weather I face, Lord you never forsake

My fragile life is safe under your sovereign grace

Anchor of my soul, You sustain

When I'm in the storm, You remain

Good to me

Good to me

At some point every human looks right in the eyes of agony

And through the tragedy asks himself how can this happen to me?

You might be the type with enough insight to hold

On for your dear life but slip because your grip is not as

Tight as you might like

You ain't immune to it, naw, and if

You true to yourself then you ain't new to it

Trusted in self, lusted and lured to it

So when the darkness overwhelms me

And the tide of life rises and swells "It is Well" is what compels me.

When faced with adversity your truth

Constantly reminds me that you command the seas with ease

And with words you're turning wind to breeze. It helps me

To understand that we stand on solid rock not on sinking

Sand. Through the providence of pain you perfect your plan

Predestined to be tested when the works and the Words of

God cooperate and educate men in the great gift of Grace

And Faith. And even though its obvious when my outlooks

Ominous you've bound my heart and my conscience and gave me

A constant calmness. So when the pain comes like rain from

The parts of life that maintains its strain I can put my

Trust in the hands that sustain. It's profound that with

All these sinking ships around me, He surrounds me and he

Anchors me with his grace abounding

Anchor of my soul, You sustain

You sustain

When I'm in the storm, You remain

You remain

Good to me

Good to me

Oh, You're good to me

You're good to me

Good to me
