Anchor of the Soul

Verse 1

Out on the water, the sky turned gray,

Waves started rising, hope slipped away,

The wind was howling, fear filled their eyes,

Lightning was flashing across the skies,

Sleeping in the stern, calm and still,

The Savior rested by His Father’s will.

Pre-Chorus

They cried, “Lord, don’t You see?”

He rose with authority.

Chorus

Jesus calm the storms in my life,

Speak Your peace into my strife,

When the waves are crashing high,

And the tears fall from my eyes,

I will trust You through the night,

Jesus calm the storms in my life.

Verse 2

The boat was shaking, hearts full of dread,

“Teacher, we’re perishing!” the disciples said,

He stood up strong in the raging breeze,

Lifted His hand and spoke to the seas,

“Peace, be still,” the wind obeyed,

And every fear began to fade.

Pre-Chorus

Even the winds and sea

Bow to His majesty.

Chorus

Jesus calm the storms in my life,

Speak Your peace into my strife,

When the waves are crashing high,

And the tears fall from my eyes,

I will trust You through the night,

Jesus calm the storms in my life.

Verse 3

Sometimes my faith feels small and weak,

Doubt starts rising when answers don’t speak,

But the same voice that calmed the sea,

Still whispers hope inside of me,

In every trial, in every test,

I find my shelter in His chest.

Pre-Chorus

Why should I be afraid?

The One who reigns has made a way.

Chorus

Jesus calm the storms in my life,

Speak Your peace into my strife,

When the waves are crashing high,

And the tears fall from my eyes,

I will trust You through the night,

Jesus calm the storms in my life.

Verse 4

Mountains may tremble, thunder may roll,

Chaos may try to conquer my soul,

But greater is He who stands with me,

Than any storm on any sea,

My anchor holds, my hope is sure,

In Christ alone I am secure.

Pre-Chorus

No power can outshine

The King of peace divine.

Chorus

Jesus calm the storms in my life,

Speak Your peace into my strife,

When the waves are crashing high,

And the tears fall from my eyes,

I will trust You through the night,

Jesus calm the storms in my life.

Verse 5

One day the final storm will cease,

He’ll call me home in perfect peace,

No more sorrow, no more pain,

No more loss, no more rain,

Until that day, my prayer will be,

Lord, let Your calm fall over me.

Pre-Chorus

Through every test and strife,

Be the captain of my life.

Final Chorus (Repeat & Build)

Jesus calm the storms in my life,

Speak Your peace into my strife,

When the waves are crashing high,

And the tears fall from my eyes,

I will trust You through the night,

Jesus calm the storms in my life,

Jesus calm the storms in my life.
