I took a walk down to the harbor
I even watched a ship come in
And all those lights upon the water, shimmering
These empty streets once thronged with people
Before the houses had all gone
And fathers rose to queue for work, before the dawn
And every meal upon the table
Bore testimony to their days
Spent working hard upon a ship, from far away
~Chorus~
Tell me the old old story
Of Jesus and His love
And will your anchor hold you, in the flood
Upon the church steps stood a preacher
He cried redemption to the docks
And all his words fell just like honey, on a rock
Hearts made stony by those hard times
And steelyed eyes and windswept face
Were softened by his stories of, amazing grace
From two and three to many thousands
Redemption fell upon the land
The tiger lay before the lion, and the lamb
~Chorus~
And I will never be a sailor
But maybe if I take my, stand
Perhaps I'll see revival fall, upon our land
Now I've come looking for adventure
And its adventure I have found
Since first I set my feet upon, Your holy ground
I took a walk down to the harbor
I even watched a ship come in
And all its lights upon the water, shimmering
~Chorus~
But I have an anchor
That keeps my soul
Steadfast and sure
While those billows roll
It's fastened to the rock
Which cannot move
Grounded firm and deep
In my Savior's blood
We have an anchor
That keeps our soul
Steadfast and sure
While those billows roll
It's fastened to a rock
Which cannot move
Grounded firm and deep
In the Savior's blood
