[Intro]
G C G C
 
 
[Verse]
G       C
 I have journeyed
G                         C     G   D
 Through the long, dark night
     Em           D
 Out on the open sea
Am          D
 By faith alone
G  D       Em
 Sight unknown
C               D                G  C/D
 And yet His eyes were watching me
 
 
[Chorus]
           G      C/G G
The anchor holds
                   C         F/C C
Though the ship is battered
      G/B   D
The anchor holds
                     G     C/G G
Though the sails are torn
        G     GM7   G7
I have fallen on my knees
     C         G/B    Am
As I faced the raging seas
           D
The anchor holds
                 G     C/D
In spite of the storm
 
 
[Verse]
G        C
 I've had visions
G            C     G   D
 I've had dreams
            Em           D
 I've even held them in my hand
Am            D
 But I never knew
G            D          Em
 They would slip right through
C               D                G   C/D
 Like they were only grains of sand
 
 
[Chorus]
          G      C/G G
The anchor holds
                   C         F/C C
Though the ship is battered
      G/B   D
The anchor holds
                     G     C/G G
Though the sails are torn
        G     GM7   G7
I have fallen on my knees
     C         G/B    Am
As I faced the raging seas
           D
The anchor holds
                 G     C/D
In spite of the storm
 
 
[Bridge]
C
 I have been young
G
 But I am older now
Em
 And there has been beauty
                       D
 That these eyes have seen
  C
 But it was in the night
G              D            Em
 Through the storms of my life
C                    D
 Oh, thats where God proved
              G  C/D
 His love to me
 
 
[Chorus]
          G      C/G G
The anchor holds
                   C         F/C C
Though the ship is battered
      G/B   D
The anchor holds
                     G     C/G G
Though the sails are torn
        G     GM7   G7
I have fallen on my knees
     C         G/B    Am
As I faced the raging seas
           D
The anchor holds
                 G     C/D
In spite of the storm
 
 
[Outro]
       G     GM7   G7
I have fallen on my knees
     C         G/B    Am
As I faced the raging seas
           D
The anchor holds
                 G
In spite of the storm

just fyi. To play along with the recordings you either need to Capo at the first fret or just play it in G#

This is really simple and very helpful! Thanks!

Same chords 3rd capo.
