Hold out, Louisiana

Though the storms keep on raging in my life
and sometimes it's hard to tell the night from day
still that hope that lies within is reassured
as I keep my eyes upon the distant shore
I know He'll lead me safely to that blessed place He has prepared

But if the storms  don't cease
and if the winds keep on blowing
my soul has been anchored in the Lord 

I realize that sometimes in this life we're gonna be tossed
by the waves and the currents that seem so fierce
but in the word of God I've got an anchor
and it keeps me steadfast and unmovable despite the tide

But if the storms don't cease
and if the winds keep on blowing in my life
my soul has been anchored in the Lord.

(gospel de Douglas Miller)
