This song I recently found whilst browsing through songs on Spotify. Anchor Hymns is described as “a multigenerational collective of artists creating songs of substance from both a lyrical, theological, and musical frame…drawing from Neo Soul, Indie Rock, Brooklyn Fusion, (Blues, Jazz, RnB, Soul)”1. This song really has an old gospel-style feel to it, and the words are great to think about to. Enjoy!
Lyrics: Oh the grave that I was in
Oh the crushing weight of sin
Bear beneath the crashing waves
Sinking ne’er to rise again
Jesus pulled me to the shore
And grace abounded all the more
And I was changed that very hour
Rescued by the Saviour’s power
Refrain
Oh Jesus, Our redeemer,
Great defender, Overcomer
Christ the victor
There’s no other
Praise his name forevermore
With my last and final breath
Passing through the door of death
I will pray just like your son
Not my will but yours be done
And as I sail to heaven’s shores
I will trust you all the more
And leave this life This fleeting flower
Resting in the Saviours power
Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen
Oh the mighty Great I am
Rules with victory in his hands
Oh He will crush the gates of hell
And bring us with him to dwell
And with all who’ve come before
We will praise you evermore
For death is swallowed up forever
Conquered by the Saviours power
