Held
Two months is too little.
They let him go.
They had no sudden healing.
To think that providence would
Take a child from his mother while she prays
Is appalling.
Who told us we’d be rescued?
What has changed and why should we be saved from nightmares?
We’re asking why this happens
To us who have died to live?
It’s unfair.
Chorus:
This is what it means to be held.
How it feels when the sacred is torn from your life
And you survive.
This is what it is to be loved.
And to know that the promise was
When everything fell we’d be held.
This hand is bitterness.
We want to taste it, let the hatred NUMB our sorrow.
The wise hand opens slowly to lilies of the valley and tomorrow.
(Chorus)
This is what it means to be held.
How it feels when the sacred is torn from your life
And you survive.
This is what it is to be loved.
And to know that the promise was
When everything fell we’d be held.
Bridge:
If hope is born of suffering.
If this is only the beginning.
Can we not wait for one hour watching for our Savior?
(Chorus)
This is what it means to be held.
How it feels when the sacred is torn from your life
And you survive.
This is what it is to be loved.
And to know that the promise was
When everything fell we’d be held.
This is what it is to be loved.
And to know, that the promise was when everything fell, we'd be held
"Held" by Natalie Grant
The song that has been in my head recently. Thought I would share.
Hoping to learn on the guitar soon.
someone made this comment about this song:
"THIS SONGS ALWAYS BRINGS ME TO MY SPIRITUAL KNEES TO PRAY NOT ONLY FOR MYSELF BUT FOR OTHERS. I COULD ONLY EMAGINE WHAT THE DESCIPLES FELT WHEN TO LORD WAS TAKEN FROM THEM AND CRUCIFIED. HOW HOPELESS. NOW IN HIND SIGHT WE KNOW HE DIED TO GIVE US HOPE,LIFE, AND SALVATION. HE HOLDS ME EVERYDAY EVEN WHEN I BREAK FREE AND RUN FROM HIS ARMS LIKE A CHILD. WHEN I FALL HE HOLDS ME CLOSE. PRAISE GOD."
Here is the video, don't like the sound on it completely but it is close enough. Tell me if it doesn't work. Enjoy:
