Natalie Grant - Held Lyrics

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 that 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

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 that when everything fell
We'd be held

If hope if 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 that when everything fell
We'd be held

  I lost my little boy a year and a half ago now, strangly I gave birth two months before my due date and as I drove to the hospital to deliver my son this song which I had never heard before came on the radio, I couldn't help but think that wasnt a coincidence, I looked it up later and it played his funneral.

  The chorus speaks to my heart. My spouse has been having an affair, told me about it and still continued. "This is what it means to be held, how it feels when the sacred is torn from life and you survive." Praise God that He is holding me. I know what it feels like to be held by my loving Savior!

  I too have experienced those moments where you question God's will, but He is always merciful. We have a medically fragile child whom we adopted. The first two years we spent Christmas and most other holidays in the Pediatric ICU just waiting to see if our little boy would make it or not. He came back from death's door four times now. He is much healthier now, Praise God!
  When I first heard this song I broke down sobbing because it validated so much of what I was feeling then. My little boy, who has no speech or movement from the chin down was able to tell me through blinks that Jesus was standing next to him all the time he was sick. We never had to tell him about Jesus,he gets to "talk" to Jesus all the time. They are "buddies". God is so good, I write this to those who wonder what their loved one went through when things were bad. We have been chosen for a purpose. To Glorify God no matter what. If He takes it all away, I will still worship Him!

  My best friends 23 year old nephew was brutally and senselessly beaten to death last week and this morning while in my car, this song came on. I found the lyrics and printed them off for her. Though we are Christians and trust that God is in control, we are still deeply greiving and some are quite angry, so it's my prayer that this song will seep into all of our souls....

  The first time that I heard this song, I had just miscarried my first child. My husband was rushing me to the emergency room. I was so full of sorrow and God put this song on the radio to give me comfort, and I knew he was speaking to me and comforting me.

  I'm really sorry for your friends loss, I hope that she will feel better knowing that her child is a better place right now. Her child is safe happy and is always with her in her heart. Don't blame the Lord for anything, He does everything for a reason and He will take you when its your time and I guess that it was your childs time. So never blame the great Lord

  this is in reply to texasangel0820. I am so sorry about your loss. I've never lost a child so I can't completely understand what that is like. I do know that no matter what God will be with you through all things and give you the strength you need. If it's meant for you to have another child it will happen in God's time. We just have to trust that God knows better than we do what is best and it might be that it just wasn't meant to be for this precious soul to be born yet. God Bless You

  I was pregnant and found out today that I was 11 weeks but the baby had no heart beat. The baby is dead. I am so lost and hurt and confused as to what to do, I don't know if I should have a d and c or to wait and let it happen on its own. I'm a mom to a beautiful almost 11 month old little girl, I love her so much but right now I'm so hurt it hurts to even look at her. I know God doesn't give you more than you can handle but I don't know how to deal w/ this it hurts so bad. Please pray for me if someone is out there reading this.

  I love the song we"d be held!!!!!! I am a christan and I still believe God is with us every day, and he holds us every day. Just like the song says. Obama is just taking everything away from us, but he has not taken God away yet, but trust me Mr. Obama will. Hes taken our free dom of speach away.
  So im gessing that he will take away our Bibles away, and probbebly more, but if they think they can take God out of my life, I feel really bad for them.
  
  Have a nice day,
  god bless you all.

  This is a song that has touched my life from the first time I heard it. The writer understand Jesus and his unconditional love. Also they understand the love a mother has for a child. I feel these two things are almost alike. The love of the Father Jesus and the love a mother has for a child.

  i love this song so much

  i lost a child- i completely understand the lyrics of this song- it was the moment that I realized that I had survived... THAT is when I really undrestood what grace is. to have written these words without experiencing this same reality is phenomenal. it is a beautiful way to express the incredible "awfulness" and the inexpressible impossibility of the grace our Father extends to us.

  "We have need for endurance" the writer of Hebrews states. To see beyond this world and it's circumstances, to set your heart on the things of Heaven where Christ resides,to grow out of our humanness into a Christ like heart is requirment for the Kingdom.
  This requires harsh circumstances of what seems to be unfairness, but in God's reality it is spiritual growth intended for each believer.
