Our Anchor

Our Anchor

The ship was stopped for a repair

The water currents on top middle and bottom were there

So an anchor was made ready

And dropped toward the sea bottom to keep her steady

But the sea at this position

Was far too deep for this anchor’s mission

The cable spool now devoid of its load

The cable now dangling deep in the abode

A storm is on its way

In its path does the ship lay

But only while the currents keep her fate

For without an engine or anchor soon the storm’s bait

The storm is gathering and swirling

The upper water currents stirring

Soon the ship is caught in its grip

The storm has arrived ready to tear and rip

The captain should have known the depth

That it was far too great to have the ship be kept

His lack of foresight and being naive

Has caused this utter catastrophe with no reprieve

We are all a ship each one of us

The captain is you with your anchor Jesus

The length of your anchor line depends on daily prayer life

Without which always leads to horrific strife

Therefore to avoid disaster pray to and heed our Lord daily

Offer Him always laud and glory

And your ship through even the harshest of storms will it weather

For you are now being guided under the Admiralty of your Heavenly Father

Amen
