Natalie Grant - Held Lyrics

Send "Held" Ringtone to Cell Phone

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.
