It can’t be my father
It can’t be my mother
It can’t be my husband
Or my son
It can’t be my money
Or earthly comforts
Nor any vain
Accomplishment I’ve done
Oh, oh, oh, false anchor
Oh, oh, oh, false anchor
Oh, oh, oh
You’re heavy when you sink
It can’t be my status
Or reputation
It can’t be what
Someone thinks of me
It’s not about my car
It can only go so far
And it’s not the stuff
They keep promoting
Oh, oh, oh, false anchor
Oh, oh, oh, false anchor
Oh, oh, oh
Why don’t you set me free
I have this Hope
As an anchor for my soul
It’s the truth, my very home
The Christ who lives within me
I have this Hope that
Holds steady in my heart
For the veil was torn apart
The Christ who lives within me
Now Christ He lives within me
It can’t be my vision
Or expectations
Bound to leave me disappointed
It never was my youth
Or my ever fading beauty
No, the inner man
Is what’s anointed
Oh, oh, oh, false anchor
Oh, oh, oh, false anchor
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
When darkness hides
His lovely face
I rest on His unchanging grace
In every high and stormy gale
My anchor holds
My anchor holds
He’s got me sold
The anchor holds
I have this Hope
As an anchor for my soul
It’s the truth, my very home
The Christ who lives within me
I have this Hope that
Holds steady in my heart
For the veil was torn apart
The Christ who lives within me
Now Christ He lives within me
I have this Hope
As an anchor for my soul
It’s the truth, my very home
The Christ who lives within me
I have this Hope that
Holds steady in my heart
For the veil was torn apart
The Christ who lives within me
Now Christ He lives within me
Maybe you’re relating
With what I’m saying
Maybe there’s a chance
I’m getting through
