Thelma (Hayes) Gillispie

"In times like these, we need a Savior, In times like these, we need an anchor
Be very sure, be very sure, Your anchor holds and grips the Solid Rock

This Rock is Jesus, Yes, He's the one; This Rock is Jesus, The only One
Be very sure, be very sure, Your anchor holds and grips the Solid Rock"
