Just Be Held

I heard this song on the radio this morning, and I wanted to write about it on my blog.  It's a beautiful song by Casting Crowns called "Just Be Held."  The lyrics remind the listener that no matter what life throws your way, don't worry, because the Lord is holding you.  So, just rest in His loving arms.

I know the times in my life where I have been overwhelmed by what is going on around me, and I want to ask God why.  Why me Lord?  But I love the words in this song--"Your world's not falling apart, it's falling into place."  God knew what was going on in my life even if I didn't understand it, and it's true--my life was falling into place.  My life was being weaved into a beautiful story that only God can create.  A life that I could never fathom, and I can honestly say a better life than I ever imagined.

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
Just be held, just be held
