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]
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
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

Review about Held God 's Grace | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/27/09
My child's father whom I love very much passed on to the presence of God. His family did not notify us. I telephoned to speak with him after no contact for months and was told he'd been ill and was hospitalized for months before his passing and that he was already buried. I looked up the obituary on the internet. They did not mention my daughter nor me in his obituary. It is as if we did not exist. Please pray us. My child and I are having a hard time with this. He was my first love.This song helps me. For weeks I have cried out "I need to be held". My child is suffering with refection from his famiy. Please Pray!!
A close family memeber let me listen to this song last night. 2 months ago we lost our 2 yr old boy, and we struggle every day with him not being here with us. When I listened to this song I knew the good Lord was talking to me. Every word of this song is so true and it touched so deeply. I just keep looking up and knowing that God is with me every step of the way, and I will see my baby boy again someday.
For those of you going through a rough time, please be encouraged that God is there with you. My son died during birth full term, 9 months ago, after loosing his twin in the first trimester. Since then I have lost another set of twins, one of them ectopic. My husband has also been diagnosed with an advanced stage of cancer. God is good and has held us close during these terribly traumatic times.
The first time i had this song i was going thruogh a stressing moment.I was really held, i felt an unimaginable peace flowing throung my body and the next day i had to go present on a tv show i made sure that the song was played. Truthfully there are no words i can write or say to describe how this song makes me feel. Some time i want to cry but the rythem of the song calms me down.
This song put me in a better place. | Reviewer: Rhonda | 11/3/09
Several years ago, a little girl in Meeker, Oklahoma, was killed by her stepfather after being abused for years by him and by her mother. Her name was Kelsey and she was nearly 3 years old. Her real father was in the Army, I believe, and was overseas when she died. The story itself was enough to break your heart but the TV news here showed pictures of her at various times during her life with bruises on her face and body and once with casts on both of her little legs. I have a daughter who is 7 years old now. In one video shown of Kelsey, she was wearing the same outfit that my daughter wore at her age! Needless to say, that did it. Every time her story came on the news, my husband would turn it off because I would start to cry. Every darn time! My soul was so sick because I couldn't understand how God had let this happen to this little girl. And then every story after that about every child that was hurt, it made me more sick and angry, especially at God. I finally heard Held by Natalie Grant on KLOVE and the lyrics comforted me. I started going back to church and now even though things are still ugly on this earth, I do feel better knowing that I am held by my Father right now and that I will be until I am with Him.

This is an amazing song..........I'm 23 and my sister died 5 years ago and i have experienced what it means to be held in god's loving and comforting hands.Often we think only about our suffering but after reading these reviews i'm moved beyond myself
Wow | Reviewer: Anna Judge | 10/13/09
What an incredibly moving song. I cry so hard whenever I hear it. I'm 13 years old and my older sister has an eating disorder that is threatening her life. This song has brought me so much comfort. I'm crying right now.

I am just hearing this song for the first time tonight. As I am reading these reviews, my heart is broken for the heartache you are going through, but I want to thank you for the encouragement and faith you are showing. I am praying for each of you. Please read Hebrews 13:5
