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

(same chords progression)

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

Chorus:

N.C.            Eb          Gm           Cm
This is what it means to be held, how it feels

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

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

N.C.            Eb          Gm           Cm
This is what it means to be held, how it feels

When the sacred is torn from your life
    Cm      Bb
And you survive

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

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
