This week’s featured song story comes to us from Skillet. We’re excited to share with you the story behind their brand new single “Anchor.”
“I meet a lot of fans and parents who say, ‘This world is changing so quickly and is getting confusing and I don’t know how to find God in my day to day life; I don’t know how to trust God in my day to day life.’As the parent of two teenage kids, I know how crazy the world is getting and it is so easy to be thrown to and fro on all these waves of doubt and looking for hope and truth in the midst of that. In our world, everything is going to be changing except for Jesus. Jesus is faithful and Jesus is true, the bible says. I hope this song is an encouragement to people who are looking for hope. Jesus said, ‘I am the way, I am the truth, I am the life,’so he will anchor you in these times of doubt. He will never leave you or forsake you and he will always be faithful for you. He is our Anchor.” – Jon Cooper (Skillet)

“Anchor” Lyrics
Drifting beneath the horizon
Body’s weak but I’m trying
To make it to shore
But I’m falling short
I need you more
Wave after wave I’ve been sinking
So unto your promise I’m clinging
You say that I’m strong
To you I belong
Keep holding on
You are my anchor
So steady me, steady me now
You are my anchor
You’re keeping my feet on the ground
In angry oceans you’ve never broken
Through every wave of the storm
You are my anchor
So steady me , steady me now
Come steady me, steady me now
When I get tired of fighting
All of the fears I’ve been hiding
You gave me your breath
And tell me to rest
You never left
I can hear you
Calling me by name
Pulling me out from under my shame
Never be the same
I can face anything
So let it rain
Don’t let go
I don’t want to do this alone
Don’t let go
I know that I’d drown on my own
