Anchor Hymns is all about gathering to honor and join in the lineage of great songs of truth handed down over time. After two initial EPs presenting groovy, folk-driven versions of Church classics, the collective introduces their first original piece, ‘Sing, Sing, Sing’.
The new song carries the soulful essence that sets Anchor Hymns apart in the worship sphere. Led by Sarah Kroger, Jasmine Mullen, Antoine Bradford, and Dwan Hill, it might come across as an “odd choice” – in the words of collective founder Andrew Osenga – because its nature is not a congregational song but one about the importance of the hymnal tradition. Osenga continues, “‘Sing, Sing, Sing’ serves as a sort of thesis for why we think this stuff matters.” The groove at the heart of Anchor Hymns’ new single is infectious, as they hope it becomes a wide-open door to the joy and music oozing from their community.
Lyrics
Grandma told me life gets hard
One little melody it brought me this far
When you feel low baby just look up to God
And let this be your song
Sing, sing, sing
Something happens when we sing
Sing, sing, sing
Something happens when we sing
Now that I’m older I’ve lived some life
I know a little bit how grandma got by
She hummed that old melody from morning to night
And now her song is mine
This is my story this is my song
Praising my savior all the day long
This is my story this is my song
Praising my savior all the day long
This is my story this is my song
(Amazing grace how sweet saved a wretch like me)
Praising my savior all the day long
(Was blind but now I see, your love makes me sing)
This is my story this is my song
(Amazing grace how sweet saved a wretch like me)
(Great is thy faithfulness)
Praising my savior all the day long
(Was blind but now I see, your love makes me sing)
(great is thy faithfulness O Lord)
