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 and just be held)
Just be held, just be held
Just be held, just be held
So much this song..I nearly fell to my knees when I heard it the other day. It just summarizes my thoughts and feelings so well.
Tragedy in life hit me out of nowhere and truly made me question almost everything I believed in. It shook my faith to the core and caused me to hit rock bottom so to speak spiritually. While I don’t truly understand why it had to happen, I am grateful to be alive and healthy enough to raise my baby boy.
Since I am a person that has trouble letting go, it was so hard to lay it down and surrender it all to Jesus like I know I should. It is so easy for us to be distracted by the chaos and size of our storms that we take our eyes off of Jesus and try and take the storm head on by ourselves. Time and time again I have attempted to take on the storms alone. Perhaps this is due to my need to “ control” when the simple solution is to let go, stop holding on and just be held.
In time, I hope I understand. I know God will make beauty with the ashes, but in His timing, not mine.
