LIF- To be Held

This song has been on my mind for days...even before I heard the news from Jax. I realize that it isn't the easiest gospel to swallow but I remain convinced that God is Sovereign and completely in control and that nothing that comes into the lives of His children is accidental or with out meaning. He is the Great Redeemer and as such, redeems everthing that touches our lives if we can only accept His redemption. Not one tear or pain is wasted in His Kingdom. He alone knows what is right and good and just and kind and He is all those things, even in our darkest moments.
When our world falls down around us....He holds us....

Held
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.

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.

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.
