(Imagine a rockin' blues-spiritual melody of the kind that is the trademark of the wonderful women's acapella singing group, "Sweet Honey in the Rock.")
If your boat is battered in a storm If your boat is battered, and your sails are tattered,
Oh, then let down your anchor in the harbor of your heart Oh, that's where you'll be safe at home.
But how do I find this harbor?
Follow the light from the beacon of your heart Follow the light, in that dark and fearsome night,
Oh, and let down your anchor in the harbor of your heart Oh, that's where you'll be safe at home.
But how do I know I'll be safe there?
Tie your boat to a dock that will not shake Tie your boat to a dock that will not shake or break,
Oh, and let down your anchor in the harbor of your heart Oh, that's where you'll be safe at home.
If your boat is battered in a storm If your boat is battered, and your sails are tattered, and your oars are scattered, and your faith is shattered, if your whole life feels like none of it mattered,
Oh, then let down your anchor in the harbor of your heart Oh, that's where you'll be safe at home.
