Held

I love this song! I really love it because it reminds us that even though we are Christians we are not exempt from pain and hard times but to know that those times are when we are being held by God he is the only one who can comfort us and we have hope that someday we will see Matthew again!

 My son is gone. I am forever changed, but my God remains the same: GOOD

I read this a year or two back and i still love it!

 I miss Matthew, today is 8 years since he passed away i still wonder what he would have been like as a little boy but i guess we will always do that even when it has been 20 years! 

Here are the lyrics to the song it is so beautiful 

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
