Just Be Held

Friday was a bad day. The buyer of the home of my buyer is trying to bail which means my house may not be sold after all and may have to go back on the market Monday.  I feel the stress pounding over me like wave after wave of an angry storm and there is literally nothing that I can do about it.  I feel helpless, weary and confused.


But early this morning (Sunday) I remembered another song my son had sent to me and I have listened to it over and over and now I know that I need to just let go and be held.  I can't concentrate on the storm.  Tomorrow I will know more and there will be things I'll have to do and I also know that in time I'll understand why this is all happening to me but for today...I just want to be held:

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, its 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

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.
