*Pastor’s Note: A.B. Simpson was a very well respected Canadian preacher, theologian and author who lived from December 15, 1843 to October 29, 1919. My prayer is that you will be blessed and inspired by his poetry as much as I am.


CHRIST IS OUR ANCHOR

Some day we’ll reach the end of Life’s long voyage,
And at the harbor’s entrance furl our sail;
Oh, shall we have an anchor sure and steadfast,
To hold us safe at last within the veil?

Some day we’ll cross the bar of yonder harbor,
And gaze at last upon the eternal shore;
Oh, shall we have on board the heavenly Pilot,
To bring us safely home forevermore?

Some day we’ll look on strange celestial faces,
And over scenes unknown our eyes will roam,
Oh, shall we find our great Forerunner waiting,
To know and welcome us to Heaven and Home?

About Roland Ledoux

Ordained minister (thus a servant). Called to encourage and inspire one another by teaching His Word, and through intercessory prayer for others, praying for those in need as well as the lost. I and my wife of 50+ years live in Delta, Colorado where the Lord has chosen to plant us in a beautiful church home.
