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 hands 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
This is what it means to be held.
I've heard this song a million times and even have it on my ipod but tonight I was listening to it and I couldn't stop crying. My best friend, my sister, the person I love most in the world is facing the fact that her 13 year old, her first born is dying of cancer and there is no more they can do, I heard this and broke completely down and I can't wait to share this with her in hopes that it gives her some peace. This is an amazing song!
this goes to beckyhzl, I abslouletly agree with you, and this song is fitting to a bunch of lives situation, I'm 13 and I think that this song is so beautiful and it touches my heart also best wishes
My niece told me about this song and that we needed to listen to it. My daughter went into labor 3 months early , the Drs stopped the labor for 2 weeks but on May 18th our lil angel came into this world, but after 9 hours we lost her. It's so hard to believe the words that I tell my daughter...God won't put more on us than we can handle,but I know we will survive. This song says it all.
tHIS SONG HAS TOUCHED NOT ONLY ME, BUT HAS TOUCHED THE VERY SPIRIT WITHIN MY 14 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WHO WENT THROUGH SEVERAL YEARS OF SEXUAL ABUSE MY MY EX-HUSBAND.I9 HOLD HER AND TELL HER HOW MUCH I LOVE HER AND SING THIS SONG TO HER, REPEATING THAT this IS WHAT IT MEANS TO BE HELD.
