  • Thank you LORD,for your love..i would like to take this time to thank Donnie Summer for singing this powerful tetimony,believe it or not this has really touched my life..this song is so powerful and is still one of my favourite song..thankyou so much..

  • I love this song, and I love this version the best! Thank you!!

  • This man means every word of every song he sings! What a blessing!

  • In this hour of gross darkness and evil...PRAISE GOD THEN ANCHOR HOLDS>>>>

  • Yes, The Anchor Holds, The Anchor is my "Lord and Savior. JESUS CHRIST," the "Son of the the Almighty GOD of the Universe." Who conquered death and sin and who now is seated at the "Right Hand of the Father" and intercedes for all "His" followers. Praise be to "His Eternal Name," Elder John A. Faust

  • I ALWAYS AND STILL DO LIKE ELVIS SONGS BUT THE CONVICTION DONNIE SUMNER SINGS WITH IS HEART FELT HERE IS A MAN WHO WALKED WITH A GIANT IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY, BUT THE KING OF KINGS CHANGED HIS HEART AND LIFE JUST LIKE HE HAS DONE FOR ME PRAISE (HIS NAME) GOD BLESS HIS PRAYING FATHER WE NEED MORE PARENTS LIKE HIM AND GOD BLESS DONNIE LOVE YOU IN JESUS CHRIST NAME. MIKE CHEATWOOD

  • Donnie is very much alive! in fact he is on facebook! His testimony is so moving - this song fits -he is a remarkable human being.

  • Hard to beleive that I lived next door to him 67 years ago, wonder if he remembers getting me in that tree swing and pushing me off the limd to start because i was so afraid to take that step by my self.........hmmm i wonder. RIP Donnie, we will talk about that later, love you my friend............

  • truly the anchor still holds.. thank you jesus

  • nice song

  • Donnie Sumner lives!!!

  • this song truly refreshes my soul god bless

  • My Wedding Cermoney was based on the Anchor Holds. This song was sung at my wedding.. I Love this song so much. Because The Anchor does hold, and there were so many up and comming battles that my husband and I were about to face. And PRAISE GOD The Anchor does hold. It has held us thus far. so many trials and so much tribulations.

  • If the people who disliked this heard this man's testimony one time you would change your mind quick

  • Thank You Lord for all the ones who have stept up and was willing to be a blessing to all who needs to hear these great and beautiful songs .

  • one can only sing like this when they have experienced the truth of this song...

  • brilliant

    inspired by elvis brilliant thank you

  • brilliant

    

  • Not a religious person, but this song brings me to tears everytime I hear it. I'm 66 and this old ship is battered.

  • Donnie Sumner is very much alive and well as of today 2/20/11 and performing a concert in Austin, Indiana.

  • JD Summer died November 16,1998 and will be missed.

  • This is my life to a T even those these old sails are torn The Anchor still holds

  • I understand Donnie was away from the Lord for a long time so he really knows what this song means. God bless him! OneKewpie

  • For who's glory does any of this take place? Huh?

  • @joec0920 For God's glory - to share with others what God can do if you'll let him. To share his testimony and bring hope to someone else who may be desperately searching for just a glimmer of hope to hold on to. Jesus is the best anchor we have to hold us.

  • This song is so beautiful, that it does cause me to cry. He does it

    so well.

  • @mamy101 - Thank you Mary for sharing with me...

    It's great to see Donnie Sumner live...

    What a great Song... - Halleluja -

    - God Bless You -

    best greetings from Austria

    bro. Ernesto....

  • This guy might be a bit cheesy but man oh man is this a song. Fantastic tune!

  • @deadluvva I don't think that it's 'cheesiness' somehow. Have you checked out Donnie's full testimony on youtube? He's got a lot to be thankful for and I would guess that this is pure, honest emotion and gratitude to God. It's great isn't it. You're so right - a fantastic song all round.

  • Thank you,Lord,that the anchor that you has given holds!Amen!

  • I think he may be thinking of J. D. Sumner, the family resemblance is clear between J. D. and his nephew Donnie; seen here.

  • I doubt the family resemblance. Donnie’s dad was killed when he was 10 months old. Donnie & his siblings were adopted by relatives. He was adopted by a second cousin, JD’s brother, which made JD his adopted uncle. This is from an interview with Donnie: “I woke up one morning and brother was my great uncle, my sister was my great aunt, my other sister was my third cousin, and my other cousin was my daddy.”

  • I have always liked Donnie Sumner and this is one of his best.

  • Thank God He has one way for ALL to come to Him, if we come in pride, He breaks us so why not come "broken" at His feet and allow Him to exalt us.

  • I have always loved Donnie and his passion for Christ........ IM sorry and i really dont want to be mean, but right now I would much rather hear him sing it than Ray Boltz.. Ray needs to get right with God.

  • Wow...such a powerful performance...made me tear...

  • had i have been here your song tonight.

  • why are people debating where he is alive or dead that man will live forever with jesus . i can tell he is a true christian , and real christians for live forever.

  • my testimony: HE IS THE ANCHOR: AND HE IS FAITHFUL. A L L GLORY TO THE LAMB !

  • Such an inspiring song. It reminds me to trust Him during the storm i am experiencing right now. Thank you for sharing.

  • WOW! What power in this song! Thank God that when the storms come, as they will for all of us, that He is right there beside us, guiding us through it.

  • This is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. Good singer too!

  • This is one of the most humble man who loves the Lord with all of his heart.He blesses us every time he comes to our church.We love this precious brother.Lord bless him and his beautiful wife.

  • GOD is always with us GOD is our everything nothing is important thn GOD n is donnie stil thr??

  • Donnie & his beautiful wife Marty are true honest Godly people. I would trust them with my and my families lives.  When I have been brought down by the storms of life. I'd look up and there they were. They have always been there to tell me "the anchor holds".

  • Today in this world how many people can you honestly say are true believers in God the Father and His precious son Jesus. I can proudly say that I would trust my life and my families' lives with Donnie & Marty Sumner. When Satan has come to destroy me or my family, I look up and there they are. The Lord has sent them to my support and remind me that God is in charge and that "the anchor still holds". we were with them on Christmas, so they are very much alived and loved my many.

  • If it had not been for that Anchor where would we be today really? Thanks everytime Donnie,God's blessings surround you so you keep singing for Him!

  • Donnie really brings this song home. If it wasn't for this anchor I would have never made it. Without the help of Jesus Christ I would have drowned long ago and friends that anchor is there for everyone if you just reach out for it. Listen to Donnie's testimony and how that anchor brought him out of the darkest depths and brought him back home where he belongs.

  • is very good singer. thanks

  • Donnie shows how Christ can change a heart from blackness ito perfect light!. Thank u Donnie!

  • MY FAVORITE GOSPEL SINGER

  • GREAT SONG...MY TESTIMONY

  • I first heard Donnie sing this on this very Gaither video and heard it when I needed it the most. All of us, like Donnie, has had our problems and believe me if it wasn't for that Anchor none of us would have come thru the other side of our storms but with the love of Jesus Christ we make it when all seems lost. He is there for all of us if only we seek Him.

  • Thank God that His anchor holds! What an amazing video and thanks to Donnie Sumner for an inspired performance.

  • Thank you Lord for being faithful, even when we are not. What a blessing! Thanks hoover

  • Love this video it's always a blessing.

    Also to anyone who says different Donnie Sumner is dead is wrong as of the time of this post he's alive and very well infact I just ate dinner with him at Wendy's. And spent the day at 2 concerts in Coshocton Ohio.

  • Today is my birthday, and this song is my testimony. Jesus is the Sure Anchor of the soul. Thank you Lord! And thanks Donnie Sumner--what a blessing you are!

  • God has blessed me in so many ways, i just want to take time to worship him n to give him thanks n praise. its songs like these which encourages me.

  • thank god for answered prayers for god loves us all no matter who we are so my prayer is that one day god will grant my prayer to re-unite me and my wife back together again and please pray for me and her thank you all

  • Sorry but i think you made a big mistake by writing the Lords name using a small letter ''g''

  • I am so glad I know Who my anchor is. Donnie, what a wonderful testimony of your life in this song. You sing this with every ounce of what God has done for you.

    If everyone could have an experience like this, they would know without a shadow of doubt, how real God is.

  • been listening & loving donnie almost my whole life...love him!

  • You MUST hear this man's testimony. He had trashed his life in the pursuit of fame and fortune. At the point of suicide God spoke to his soul. He surrendered to our Precious Saviour and now celebrates with new life. The Lord is patient and faithful and willing to forgive to the uttermost. Thanks to God for His mercy and grace and love.

  • God Bless Donnie. That the Lord has never lifted his hand from his Life...God poured out His love and mercy on this Man. I agree ..he has just gotten better over the years...Beautiful song .

  • I have followed Donnie since the 60's and he just keeps getting better and better.

  • He knew the highs of being on stage with Elvis. And the lows of drug addiction. And he made it through. Praise God the Anchor holds! Christ is that Anchor!

  • I could listen to him forever.

  • This brother loves the Lord so very much.I love to hear him worship his Lord

  • Even though our economy is adrift in the night and troubles abound - Our ANCHOR holds!

  • What a beautiful, shining example Donnie is of how the Lord humbles His own!

  • Without that anchor we would be drifting like a ship without a sail. Thank you Jesus, that Anchor.

  • I voted a negative response to this video by mistake, am so terribly sorry. I love this video very much.

  • awesome! Donnie I hope you never forget.

  • Praise God for the Anchor AMEN!!!!!

  • I just listened to Donnie's testimony before listening to this song. No wonder he sings with with such heart-felt emotion. God bless you, Donnie.

  • This has become one of my favorite songs but I have a ton of them. I really enjoyed this and I am sitting here singing it with him. I give U 5*****

  • Praise God that He is faithful even when we are not and thank God that He can use broken vessels for His glory.

  • can anybody help me? i need the verses of this song! GOd bless you hoover! i love it!

  • I have journeyed Through the long, dark night Out on the open sea By faith alone Sight unknown And yet His eyes were watching me The anchor holds Though the ship is battered The anchor holds Though the sails are torn I have fallen on my knees As I faced the raging seas The anchor holds In spite of the storm

  • Thank God for this man and his testimony. I feel something when I hear Donnie talk and sing that brings me comfort. Somehow I see in him what Elvis Presley could have been if he had lived and gave his life to the Lord. Praise God for the change God brought to this mans life.
