I listen to Classical, Country, Christian, current and 80's rock. Also the "Radio Disney" radio station when the kids are in the van. Due to having a 12 year old into music, I now love Linkin Park and Evanessence. __________________________________________________Lyrics to the song, HELD, by Natalie Grant:Two months is too little.They let him go.They had no sudden healing.To think that providence wouldTake a child from his mother while she praysIs appalling.Who told us we'd be rescued?What has changed and why should we be saved from nightmares?We're asking why this happensTo us who have died to live?It's unfair.(Chorus:)This is what it means to be held.How it feels when the sacred is torn from your lifeAnd you survive.This is what it is to be loved.And to know that the promise wasWhen everything fell we'd be held.This hand is bitterness.We want to taste it, let the hatred NUMB our sorrow.The wise hands opens slowly to lilies of the valley andtomorrow.(Chorus:)This is what it means to be held.How it feels when the sacred is torn from your lifeAnd you survive.This is what it is to be loved.And to know that the promise wasWhen everything fell we'd be held.(Bridge:)If hope is born of suffering.If this is only the beginning.Can we not wait for one hour watching for our Savior?(Chorus:)This is what it means to be held.How it feels when the sacred is torn from your lifeAnd you survive.This is what it is to be loved.And to know that the promise wasWhen everything fell we'd be held._______________________________________________________ ________
