Being Held


It's been two years and my heart aches as if freshly broken.
I miss my brother, my husband misses a friend, and my children are missing out on an Uncle.
But I know your love is all around and I know that I'm being held.

Love Comes Back Around by Graham Colton (Listen Here)


Some say that life, you can't rewind
Even when time is on your side
Some say that pain, it makes you strong
And you find the strength to carry on


Some say what's lost is never found
But I know your love comes back around



Some say that tears are meant to fall
What good is crying after all?
There are mistakes you can't undo
Then they bring out the best in you



Some say what's lost will soon be found
But I know your love is all around



Held by Natalie Grant (Listen Here)

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
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

Your tribute has really moved me. I have one brother 16 years my junior, and I cannot imagine how I'd feel were I to lose him. No matter how much I have to strive with him in all his follies, I know God put him in my life (and me in his) for His own reasons, and until that purpose is fulfilled in God's book, I just have to keep keep loving him & praying for him to return fully to the Lord.
