Held Songtext
von Natalie Grant

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

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 wanna taste it, let the hatred numb our sorrow
The wise hand opens slowly
To lilies of the valley and tomorrow


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

If hope is born of suffering
If this is only the beginning
Can we not wait for one hour
Watching for our Savior?

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
Yeah, ooh, be held, oh

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 means to be held
