HELD

Listening to a new song called "Held" off of Natalie Grant's Awaken CD. The song is about the comfort God provides in the midst of the faith-shaking confusion, pain, and bitterness of personal loss. The lyrics are great but the melody will make you cry...

Here are some lyrics:

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
when everything fell we'd be held.

This hand is bitterness.
We want to taste it, let the hatred know our sorrows.
The wise hands opens slowly to lilies of the valley and tomorrow.
