A good friend of ours is a fantastic writer. He was telling me about this "Modern day hymn" that he wrote based on the author of Amazing Grace. I was really captured by it and he said I could feature him here if I gave him credit. Enjoy!

ANCHOR OF MY SOUL
by Randy Rigby Joseph Goodwin

Now I lift my anchor from the mirky deep
To the final journey whence I sleep

Now my boat does heave and pitch
Beyond the stormy sea adrift

On my lofty skysail clipper
I set sail to eternity

There is nothing that is swifter
Than my soul sailing to Thee

My anchor now and ‘till the end of time
Against gale winds and changing tide

Not of iron stone wood nor lead
My anchor is the living Head

His spirit blows through my rigging
My sails set on broad reach

Of my final day I’m singing
Singing of my soul to Thee

I race to eternity, I race to Thee
Anchor of my soul

On my lofty skysail clipper
I set sail to eternity

There is nothing that is swifter
Than my soul sailing to Thee

My anchor now and ‘till the end of time
Against gale winds and changing tide

Not of iron stone wood nor lead
My anchor is the living Head
