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

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
Should wanderlust entice me
His compass true will guide me
Back where His love shall hide me
I'm tethered to the cross

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

When troubles roll like breakers
So full of dread and dangers
My victry's in the Savior
I'm tethered to the cross

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

Tomorrow looms uncertain
With untold joy and burdens
I walk with strength and fervor
I'm tethered to the cross

When through the valley's shadow
I fight my final battle
I'll rise in Christ unshackled
I'm tethered to the cross

Hallelujah, Oh my soul!
It will not ever let me go
Hell may rage but it will hold
I'm tethered to the cross
