Purchase

Written for the Dale Warland Singers in memory of Tim Peter through a gift from Jim, Donna and Wendy Peter with matching funds from the National Endowment for the Arts.

In the Lord,
In the Lord,
My soul’s been anchored in the Lord.
Before l’d stay in hell one day,
My soul’s been anchored in the Lord,
l’d sing and pray myself away,
My soul’s been anchored in the Lord.

I’m gonna pray and never stop,
My soul’s been anchored in the Lord,
Until I reach the mountain top,
My soul’s been anchored in the [ord.
ln the Lord,
ln the Lord,
My soul’s been anchored in the Lord.
