Held - Natalie Grant

I heard this song for the first time last week and the chorus has been rolling around my head all week. Odds are that most people might never hear this song, but a lot of people can probably relate to its message of loss, heartache and finding peace. You can hear a clip of the song at Natalie Grant's website.

Due to the volume of traffic of people coming here to find the lyrics, I have posted the entire song below.

"Held" - Natalie Grant
From the album - Awaken
Label - Curb Records (2005)

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 and
Let the hatred numb our sorrows
The wise hand opens slowly
To lilies of the valley and tomorrow

chorus

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

chorus
