Lawrence Chewning has been a Christian songwriter, singer, and speaker for almost five decades. His most well-known musical compositions are “The Anchor Holds” and “At the Foot of the Cross.” He has recorded ten albums of his songs.
“The Anchor Holds” held the # 1 position in the national Inspirational charts for three (3) weeks when released for airplay by Ray Boltz in 1995. It has been recorded by numerous artists, including the Gaither Homecoming Friends and Jimmy Swaggart, and has continued to enjoy wide popularity. In 1998 “At the Foot of the Cross” reached the # 3 position on the national Inspirational charts, sung by Ray Boltz.
Lawrence grew up on a cotton farm in Lee County, South Carolina. In February, 1970, while attending Anderson University, in Anderson, Indiana a spontaneous spiritual awakening occurred in the city which culminated in fifty days of revival services.
In the summer of 1970 Lawrence and several other friends began traveling full-time throughout the country, sharing testimonies and songs. They were known as The Fishermen, and as time went on, they began singing more and more of Lawrence’s original compositions. Lawrence later formed another band called Lawrence Chewning & Eastland Band.
