THE ANCHOR HOLDS

DIFFICULT DAYS

YOU'VE HELD OUR HAND, LORD

IN DARK AND DIFFICULT DAYS.

PLEASE HOLD AMERICA'S HAND NOW.

OUR BURDENS IN YOU WE LAY.

AMERICA NEEDS YOUR HELP, LORD.

IN DECISIONS WE HAVE TO MAKE.

AMERICA HAS ABDANDONED YOU.

HOW MUCH WILL YOU TAKE?

AMERICA WAS FOUNDED AROUND YOU, LORD.

CONFUSED, WE STUMBLE YOUR LAND.

WE CAN'T EVEN WALK

WITHOUR YOU HOLDING OUR HAND.

HOLD OUR HAND

 You've held our hand, Lord
in dark and difficult days,
Please hold America's hand now.
Our burdens on You. We lay.

America needs your help, Lord,
in decisions we have to make.
America has abandoned You.
How much will You take?

America was founded around You, Lord
Confused~~we stumble Your land.
We can't even walk
without You holding our hand.

CHRISTMAS

 One heavenly star brightly shined.
Brilliantly it gleamed~one of a kind.
Bethlehem was crowded~ No room to be found.
Joseph saw a manger as he looked around.

Curious, the cows gazed under a winter moon.
Somehow the animals sensed that soon~
A miracle would happen~on this cold night
And they looked silently at a flickering light.

Suddenly from the manger, the animals began to chatter.
Shepherds, watching the star, thought something�s the matter! ! !
Wise men came, with gifts, frankincense and myrrh.
It was God�s Miracle, creating the stir!!

A baby was crying on Christmas morn.
To the world, a Child was born.
Hope springs eternal on Christmas Day,
As we celebrate our Lord�s Birthday---

THE ANCHOR HOLDS

 Have you fallen into sin?
Is your Anchor tied to the boat?
Jesus Christ is The Anchor.
Without Him-
You would go afloat.

You will surely stray
If your Anchor is not tight.
Keep your eyes upon Jesus.
Hold on with all your might.

Speak out against sin.
Do not deny the Word of God
Life�s turmoil will tempt
As we walk upon this sod.

SOMEONE CARES

When your load is heavy
and feel you can't go on,
when the tears are flowing
and the pain goes on and on~

When your heart is breaking
and the pressure is so strong,
when your days heavily drag
never ending, growing long~

When you are disappointed
and everything seems wrong,
when days ahead look hopeless,
The future looks bleak and long~

Someone cares~our Heavenly Father,
He's there reaching out to you!
He longs to hold your hand.
Jesus will help you make it through~  

THE DIRTY STONE

It was just a dirty old stone,
residents knew it was heavy in weight.
It was nestled near some briers~
weighing 4000 pounds~irregular in shape.

Residents passed and wanted it moved..
No one knew it would become history~
Strangers talked about it in disgust~
~Wedged in gravel, did it know the mystery?

Then the daylight suddenly turned dark!
It took many men to push the stone away.
They rolled the old stone to a tomb~
'twas rolled there to forever stay.

And now~~~the dirty old stone had become
a part of the most historical day.
A cool breeze blew and the stone felt
Angel Arms lightly roll it away.
