I listen to a mix of Christian music during my morning walk and have really been enjoying this song and wanted to share the lyrics below....for me they are truly powerful!
For those who want, here's a link to the actual song....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIZitK6_IMQ
"Just Be Held" by Casting Crowns
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 worlds 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 wont let go

You are welcome.....what is so great is when I started to 'hear' the words, and realized I liked more than the tempo, the first thought was ... I need to share this with my 'family'.....
That would be those here! Just so powerful!

So glad that you all enjoyed it. At times a part of a song aligns with my spirit but rarely does an entire song....
The exception - back in the day when I was more codependent....that so many of the 'break-up' songs aligned with me when I was in relationship drama....ha.ha.ha.ha.
Makes me wonder if one of them or their song-writer is in recovery of some sort!?
