In the Past (Hebrews 6:9-20) (parts I & II)

Though we speak in this way
I believe that better things will come
If you hold on

For you have shown yourself faithful in the past
And I know that faith will last

O, don't you let go of the promise of God
He's never going to let you down
He's never going to let you down

O, if you just hold on to His word
If you hold on and endure
There's hope

When God made a promise to Abraham
He couldn't swear by anyone less than him
So he swore by himself, what else could he do
To show that his promises would come true

And the same applies to the present time
His word's still true, for He cannot lie
So he sealed His oath with two unmoving lines
From a distant Psalm from a distant time

We have a sure anchor of the soul
A sure anchor of the soul
A hope that goes into the inner place
Behind the curtain that separates

We have a sure anchor of the soul
And a steadfast hope that holds
And there's no more fear
Draw near to God through Christ

We have a sure and a steadfast anchor of the soul
A steadfast anchor of the soul
A priest not vexed by death, not appointed by sex
But according to the order of Melchizedek
