Intro:
Verse (Key of )
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
Chrous:
(NC)
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
Verse: Same chords as verse 1
This hand is bitterness
We want to taste it, let the hatred numb
Our sorrow
The wise hand opens slowly
To lillies of the valley and
Tomorrow
Chorus
Bridge (Key of )
If hope is born of suffering
If this is only the beginning
Can we not wait for one hour
Watching for our Savior
Chrous (Key of )
(NC)
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
2x
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 means to be held
