[Verse 1]
The winds of change blow bitter
I will not fear the winter
My faith won't bend or wither
I'm tethered to the cross
[Verse 2]
Should wanderlust entice me
His compass true will guide me
Back where His love shall hide me
I'm tethered to the cross
[Chorus 1]
Here and now and age to age
My grateful song will be the same
Thank you, thank you, I've been saved!
I'm tethered to the cross
[Verse 3]
When troubles roll like breakers
So full of dread and dangers
My victry's in the Savior
I'm tethered to the cross
[Verse 4]
Tomorrow looms uncertain
With untold joy and burdens
I walk with strength and fervor
I'm tethered to the cross
[Chorus 2]
Here and now and age to age
My grateful song will be the same
Thank you, thank you, I've been saved
I'm tethered to the cross
[Verse 5]
When through the valley's shadow
I fight my final battle
I'll rise in Christ unshackled
I'm tethered to the cross
[Verse 6]
Hallelujah, Oh my soul!
It will not ever let me go
Hell may rage but it will hold
I'm tethered to the cross
