Jesus is the Anchor of my soul

"He’s the Alpha, Omega; Honor, Praise His Holy Name x 2

Jesus, Messiah, Praise your Holy name

Jesus, Saviour, Praise your Holy name

Jesus is the author of my life;

Jesus is the perfector of my life;

Jesus is the Captain of my soul,

Jesus is the Anchor of my soul."

Words of a song by Dr. MacDonald Mweemba Chaava. Lawton OK 73501

In June of 2022, my wife traveled to Zambia to provide financial assistance to her sister's family. I composed the words and music of this lively worship song!

I longed for a song that glorified the Lord Jesus, one that sounded scripture-like, with a pleasant melody and heartfelt devotion. During this period, I also grew more aware of the necessity of mentioning His name whenever praising Him, as other individuals and deities are claiming to be the Lord and hence calling us to worship them. If we are not careful, we may find ourselves worshiping false gods. We need songs that mention Jesus by name. It took me three hours to compose on the keyboard and guitar. I used the piano to select notes I had never used in a song and the guitar to round off and finish the sound.
