Grounded firm and deep in the Saviour’s love! Steadfast and sure while the billows roll Jesus is the pathway that brings us through the Old Testament veil that separated us from entering God’s presence. According to Hebrews 6:19-20, Christ is the hope that secures us when we face the unknown.

Owens asks a few questions about an anchor, a metaphor for the triangular-shaped device that prevents its ship from being swept away from wind and waves. When the strong tides lift, and the cables strain, When the clouds unfold their wings of strife? Will your anchor hold in the storms of life, Psalm 107:23-37 sums up this entire song and its Biblical message contained therein. How much of the lyrics line up with Scripture? We will remain steadfast! Our reward is entering the great and holy New Jerusalem, with streets paved in gold and spiritual stormy weather will cease. Will we allow threats of fear, danger, or death prevent us from following Jesus? For the Christian, this is an emphatic “no”. This song is a series of rhetorical questions asking if we will remain firm in faith amid life’s trials and tribulations.
