Psalm 27:1

In times like these you need a Savior,
In times like these you need an anchor;
Be very sure, be very sure
Your anchor holds and grips the solid Rock!

This Rock is Jesus, Yes, He's the One,
This Rock is Jesus, The only One!
Be very sure, be very sure
Your anchor holds and grips the solid Rock!

In times like these you need the Bible,
In times like these O be not idle;
Be very sure, be very sure
Your anchor holds and grips the solid Rock!

In times like these I have a Savior,
In times like these I have an anchor;
I'm very sure, I'm very sure
My anchor holds and grips the solid Rock!
