You should probably do this inside the loop, i. e.:
<?php
if ( have_posts() ) {
while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
$link = get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'link', TRUE);
?>
<p><a href="<?php echo $link; ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></p>
…

I tried that, but, I think that I must have had the syntax wrong. Working now!
Thank you for the quick reply!
