HELD by Crista Wells Sung by Natalie Grant

Capo 1st fret
I think this fills in the song a little more on the bridge and other areas

Intro:    (light and flowing)

Verse 
              
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:
                                
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 hand opens slowly
                        
To lillies of the valley and 
     
Tomorrow





Chorus(change of key)

Bridge 
                   
If hope is born of suffering
                   
If this is only the beginning
                 
Can we not wait for one hour
                    
Watching for our Savior

Chrous(Strong another half step up)
                                          
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


    x2

                                
This is what it is to be loved, and to know
                                  
That the promise was when everything fell
             
We'd be held


(lightly)
   

                          
This is what it means to be held
