The Words..

I really wanted to share this song to its best and I think adding the lyrics will help anyone listening feel the song like I felt it. Here they are:


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
