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
When everything fell, we’d be held

This hand is bitterness
We wanna taste it, let the hatred numb our sorrow
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
When everything fell, we’d be held

If hope is 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
When everything fell, we’d be held
Yeah, ooh be held, oh

This is what it is to be loved
And to know that the promise was
When everything fell, we’d be held

My feet are tired from the runnin’
My strength is gone for overcomin’
My lips are silent, I don’t know what to pray
So I’ll wait, I’ll wait for You

My eyes have seen Your hand deliver
My heart remembers You, my help and my defender
My well runs dry, but I’ve known the taste of rain
So I’ll wait, I’ll wait for You

Here I am, I’m reachin’ out
I need You always, oh, I need You now
I’m comin’ close so we can stay
Hand in hand until we stand face to face

I still believe in new beginnings
The battle rages, but I still believe You’ll win it
The night will bend to the light that’s breakin’ through
So I’ll wait, I’ll wait for You

Here I am, I’m reachin’ out
I need You always, oh, I need You now (oh, I need You now)
I’m comin’ close so we can stay
Hand in hand until we stand face to face

Face to face, You are the light here
When bondage breaks and darkness dies
Face to face, You are the end of fear
Who You are brings Heaven here, yeah (who You are)
Oh, who You are brings Heaven here, yeah

Here I am, I’m reachin’ out
I need You always, oh, I need You now
My hope is found in Your embrace
Hand in hand until we stand face to face

I was sure by now
God, you would have reached down
And wiped our tears away
Stepped in and saved the day
But once again, I say amen
And it’s still raining

And as the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain
“I’m with you”
And as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives
And takes away

And I’ll praise You in this storm
And I will lift my hands
‘Cause You are who You are
No matter where I am
And every tear I’ve cried
You hold in Your hands
You never left my side
And though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm

I remember when I stumbled in the wind
You heard my cry, You, You raised me up again
My strength is almost gone, how can I carry on?
If I can’t find You

But as the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain
“I’m with you”
And as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives
And takes away

And I’ll praise You in this storm
And I will lift my hands
‘Cause You are who You are
No matter where I am
And every tear I’ve cried
You hold in Your hands
You never left my side
And though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm, oh, oh
And though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm

I lift my eyes unto the hills
Where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord
The Maker of Heaven and Earth
I lift my eyes unto the hills
Where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord
The Maker of Heaven and Earth
You’re my help

And I’ll praise You in this storm
And I will lift my hands
‘Cause You are who You are
No matter where I am
And every tear I’ve cried
You hold in Your hands
You never left my side
And though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm, yeah
