Held Lyrics

Held - Natalie Grant (Written by Christa Nichole Wells)

I learned this song from "Held Chords (ver 3)" I changed a few chords and the placement
a few others to fit the song a little better.
Notice: I am not claiming to have written this entire tab by ear. "WingmanCO"
sumbitted this, I simply changed it a little.
Intro: D G Em A(light and flowing)
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, let the hatred numb
Our sorrow
The wise hand opens slowly
To lillies 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
Chorus(change of key)
If hope is 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 when everything fell
Am G or F
We'd be held
