No Anchor For Rancour

No anchor for rancour;
release the chain.
Your way’s secure
with home to gain.

Let go the anger
That holds you back.
Unclench the fist;
it’s time to tack.

No anchor for rancor;
let spirits sail.
He’ll carry you
far from assail.

A bridled tongue
can’t flap when trimmed.
The night is young;
fix eyes on Him.

No anchor for rancour;
run straight till dawn.
Your morning star
will point you on.
