30. I’VE ANCHORED IN JESUS

1. Upon life’s boundless ocean where mighty bellows roll,

   I’ve fixed my hope in Jesus, blest anchor of my soul;

   When trials fierce assail me as storms are gathering o’er,

   I rest upon His mercy and trust Him more.

   Chorus:

   I’ve anchored in Jesus,

   The storms of life I’II brave,

   I’ve anchored in Jesus,

   I fear no wind or wave,

   I’ve anchored in Jesus

   For He hath pow’r to save,

   I’ve anchored to the Rock of Ages.

2. He keeps my soul from evil and gives me blessed peace,

   His voice hath stilled the waters and bid their

   tumult cease

   My Pilot and Deliverer, to Him I all confide,

   For always when I need Him, He’s at my side.

3. He is my Friend and Saviour, in Him my anchor’s cast,

   He drives away my sorrows and shields me from the blast;

   By faith I’m looking upward beyond life’s troubled sea,

   There I behold a haven prepared for me.

GOSPEL REALM: STEPS TO SALVATION
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
