Just be held

Life can be tough sometimes, and so it can cause us to feel overwhelmed by all we have to deal with. Sometimes in those situations all we need is just for someone to hold us, or to give us a big hug, knowing what we’re going through.

While it’s great for a family member or a friend to be there for us and hug us, the most reassuring thing for us that we don’t need to just hold on, but instead just be held by God.

Hold it all together
Everybody needs you strong
But life hits you out of nowhere
And barely leaves you holding on
And when you′re tired of fighting
Chained by your control
There's freedom in surrender
Lay it down and let it go

So when you′re on your knees and answers seem so far away
You're not alone, stop holding on and just be held
Your world's not falling apart, it′s falling into place
I′m on the throne, stop holding on and just be held
Just be held, just be held

If your eyes are on the storm
You'll wonder if I love you still
But if your eyes are on the cross
You′ll know I always have and I always will
And not a tear is wasted
In time, you'll understand
I′m painting beauty with the ashes
Your life is in My hands

So when you're on your knees and answers seem so far away
You′re not alone, stop holding on and just be held
Your world's not falling apart, it's falling into place
I′m on the throne, stop holding on and just be held
Just be held, just be held

Lift your hands, lift your eyes
In the storm is where you′ll find Me
And where you are, I'll hold your heart
I′ll hold your heart
Come to Me, find your rest
In the arms of the God who won't let go

So when you′re on your knees and answers seem so far away
You're not alone, stop holding on and just be held
Your world′s not falling apart, it's falling into place
I'm on the throne, stop holding on and just be held (stop holding on)
Just be held, just be held

Just be held, just be held
