Held

• Eb

Intro: Eb Gm Cm Bb  
  
Verse (Key of Bb)  
Eb            Bb  
Two months is too little  
Gm               Cm  
They let him go, they had no  
Ab        Bb  
Sudden healing  
Eb            Bb  
To think that providence would  
Gm                   Cm                Ab  
Take a child from his mother while she prays  
     Bb  
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:  
(NC)            Eb          Gm           Cm  
This is what it means to be held, how it feels  
         Bb        Eb              Gm  
When the sacred is torn from your life  
    Cm      Bb  
And you survive  
                Eb       Gm            Cm  
This is what it is to be loved, and to know  
         Bb                Eb         Gm  
That the promise was when everything fell  
     Cm   Bb  
We'd be held  
  
Verse: Same chords as verse 1  
  
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 (Key of C)  
Am         F       C         G  
If hope is born of suffering  
Am         F       C         G  
If this is only the beginning  
Am                  E  
Can we not wait for one hour  
         C          Dm  
Watching for our Savior
