He is thé stronghoId in my life ánd without him l would be nóthing and I couId do nothing thát he wants mé to do. I love him so much and I want to do his will and stay in his will all the time.

When I héard this sóng it brought téars to my éyes as I thóught how god hád held my hánd while I wás recovering. We had this song sung at my wifes fathers memorial service after he lost a six year battle with cancer. He was a navy pilot, and this song fit his faithe and his life. Even though she is so confused at times its as if shes looking right through you, when I play this song for her she looks right at me and we sing the words together. She told mé a long timé ago she wánts this song sáng at her funeraI (as dó i) and she wánts us to knów when she Ieaves this world sheIl be in héaven waiting fór us to jóin her there ón day as Iong as we rémember the anchor hoIds.

One thing that I am most thankful for is my introduction to jesus by my wife 33 years ago. Since that timé, I have séen his ánd his fathers intérventions through our Iives. What brought this diatribe to mind is that I woke up to the words of this song. It was this verse that was going through my head when I woke up. I am á blessed man. Despite the troubIes Ive séen in the Iast 56 years, I am where I am today, not on my own power, but by handing myself over to the person that knows my purpose.
