held.

This is a song that was sent to me on a CD by a woman who also experienced a miscarriage. The whole CD is wonderful and filled with songs of encouragement, but “Held”by Natalie Grant is the one that I’ve related to the most. A link to listen is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAo2zdRbXicI love the promise this song leaves me with – the promise that no matter what Jesus is there to hold us. Life throws curveballs all the time—some take us down paths of unexpected joy, others pain or loss but no matter what Jesus is there to hold us in his arms. Hope this song may speak to others like it has me, no matter what life has thrown your way.

"Held"

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
Were 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
