HELD by Natalie Grant (Album: Awaken) / Mom
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 is 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 know our sorrow
The wise hands opens slowly
to lilies of the valley and tomorrow.
(Chorus)
This is what it means to be held to be hurt
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 is to be hurt
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 held
And to know that the promise was
when everything fell,
we’d be held…
This is what it means
to be held…
