The Anchor Holds with lyrics Ray Boltz

[@cheeverdog]

Lord i need an anchor more than ever. Ive found out this year dying is the easy part. Living with post surgical depression and cancer anxiety is the hardest thing Ive ever faced. I need Gods grace and strength to heal my mind just as He did my body. Amen

[@karenhart4442]

Lord, we know you are God alone, you are faithful, you are strong and that you have a plan for all of us. Knowing you are a merciful God I ask for mercy on this child of yours. If only for a little while give peace and emotional safety to her. Thank you Lords that you have told us you will never leave us nor forsake us. Thank you Lord that this child of yours continues to seek you and cling to you through the trials, the pain, the sorrow, the hard times. Giver strength to continue and help her fullfil your plans for her life. God may you be pleased with her. In your son's name I pray. Amen

For those of you who are battling cancer, I was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer that spread to my lymph nodes & spine. Went thru 6 hours of back surgery with rods put in. That was Dec of 2018. Now in Aug of 2024 just a few spots left & I know God is going to completely heal me. Rods will be gone & no trace of ever having cancer. Don't give up hope. Jesus is your answer. You must be born again to become a true child of God. Obey Acts 2:38. "Then Peter said unto them, Repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. " Ask God to show you His truth & be willing to accept whatever He shows you. I love my Jesus. He's been so good to me. 🙏❤️

I know for sure Jesus is Lord, i was an drug addict and my father prayed and fasted for me until I Got saved by Jesus Christ, My father lived 4 years after I got saved and he got to feel good and knew I surredered my life to Jesus, To God be The Glory, I wish you all the best, please remember me in prayer for an job, and God to lead me.

After 19 years of living with Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis that followed a bout of colon cancer, I thought things were tough. Then the screws have tightened another twist. My stent of a year ago became 100% blocked and onto the cutting board, I went again for a three-way pass surgery. As the following year progressed, I fought a leaky incision that just wouldn't heal. Surgery after surgery was performed than when the leak finally halted, I caught the MRSA and Strep insult. Oh, but the Anchor still holds even though my sails are tattered and my seas remain anything but calm. What a great song that touches home. Jesus is the calm before and after each storm of life.

[@darrellmyers6478]

I was a great lover of Ray Boltz music because it seemed to have a deeper sense of faith than so many of the other Christian music of the time but when Ray came out and announced that he was gay, I awaited his decision as to whether he would follow Christ and deny his sexuality or deny Jesus, and the Biblical statements on homosexuality, and follow his sexuality. He chose his sexuality and broke with God. So although he wrote amazing music, I, and my family, broke with Ray and have stayed faithful to Christ. We have been praying for Ray that he would change his ways and go through the discipline to return to Ministry.

I heard this song when I was still a Police Officer back in the late 1980's, (I think.). I was going through a very bad time in my life. My wife had left me, and I lost most of my friends because of that. I turned mean, and lashed out, and for the first time in years, I missed my Grandfather, who was a good, Christian man. He was always praying for me, and always told me, "you see, someday you'll beg Jesus Christ to come into your life because when you lose everything else, he'll be waiting." It was the middle of the night when I heard the song, and just that quick I thought, "I want to talk to Gramps." He didn't answer directly, Jesus did. I pulled over to the side of the road, and for the first time in years, I cried, and thenI prayed. God accepted me unconditionally right then and there. I started going to church, and met a wonderful Christian woman, whom I eventually married. That was almost thirty years ago, and I couldn't be happier. I have Jesus Christ, my wife, five children, and ten grandchildren. Most of all, I have my Anchor, Jesus Christ to whom I pray, and give thanks to every day. If I died tomorrow, I'd die a happy man, content in the knowledge that I will meet Jesus, and maybe, I'd get to thank Gramps for showing me the road to follow when the time was right.

Beautiful story and I'd like to say thank you and I love you my friend ❤🙏🏻

[@leswalker2639]

That is a excellent testimony. I pray you wrote all this down in your Journal of life. Someone in the family needs to read your story also. Our Saviour cares. I have found whenever you hand over all your cares and trials of life to Jesus Christ the load is not near so heavy for me to carry because his yoke is easy and he invites us all to grab ahold. It is there for each of us. That's if we can push Pride out of the way. And the Trials of life seem to be like a everyday chore. Not much to it anymore. It's much easier to deal with it. Almost like feeding the cat everyday. Open the sack of cat food and lay it down on a table and let the cat eat anytime he wants to, that easy. It is not up to me to figure out when the cats needs to eat.

[@TTLov]

One of THE BEST SONGS ever written, and so perfectly delivered! It gets me ❤

[@raising5kiddos]

I know Ray has had some struggles in his life with his faith. If Ray were to ever read this, I would tell him that I love him very much, and the Lord loves him very much as well. When Solomon, the wisest man in the world had met with God the second time, in 1 chronicle chapter 7. You see him shortly after starting build temples and idols to false gods while being seduced by foreign women. Then at the end of his life, he returned to the Lord, and tore down those idols and we have the wisdom from Ecclesiastes to share with us. He declares “it is all meaningless except a relationship with God”. The Lord hasn’t given up on you yet, Ray. There are many of us like me that pray for you. I hope one day to meet you in person or the kingdom and shake your hand and give you a hug. God has used your music to touch the hearts of many believers all around the world. God says he won’t let his word return void and we are claiming Ray in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord.

[@ericsimmons4868]

Well said! Wish he saw more of this than those who were so vicious (can condemn his actions in a way that does not push him further from the Truth).

[@imwalking1690]

All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. A lot of people pray they that he will repent and be forgiven and see him in heaven one day when the Lord returns in the clouds.

[@wendybulechowsky5181]

I'm an addict. Please pray for me. I was raised in God's word and in his house. I don't know how I intentionally strayed so far from happiness. Everytime I relapse, the first thing I imagine is the feeling of God's love and my father playing Ray's songs on the way to anywhere we traveled. May God's peace and blessings fall upon you all like rain. SPREAD THE WORD/LOVE!

I have listened to this song, since I was a small child. Even saw him live with a church group. In 2012, I was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. I was 28. I was given 3 months to live, with or without treatments. That's been 5 years ago, this month. My mother would put this song on, when I was laying in the hospital, just ready to give up. But alas, the anchor holds! And here I am today.
