Intro

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

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
