Lyrics

(Am)Hold it all to geth er; ev ’ry (F)bod y needs you strong.

But life (Am)hits you out of no where and bare ly (F)leaves you hold ing on.

And when you’re (Am)tired of fight ing,

(C)chained by your con trol,

there’s (Am)free dom in sur ren der.

Lay it (C)down and let it go.

So, when you’re (C)on your knees and an swers seem so (G)far a way,

you’re not a lone.

Stop hold ing on and just be held.

Your (C)world’s not fall ing a part; it’s fall ing in to place.

I’m on the throne; stop hold ing on and just be held,

just be held,

(Dm)just be held.

If your (Am)eyes are on the storm, you’ll won der (F)if I love you still.

But if your (Am)eyes are on the cross, you’ll know I (F)al ways have and I (C)al ways will.

And not a (Am)tear is wast ed; in (C)time, you’ll un der stand.

I’m paint ing (Am)beau ty with the ash es; your (C)life is in My hands.

So, when you’re (C)on your knees and an swers seem so (G)far a way,

you’re not a lone.

Stop hold ing on and just be held.

Your (C)world’s not fall ing a part; it’s fall ing in to place.

I’m on the throne; stop hold ing on and just be held.

just be held,

(Dm)just be held.

(G)Well, lift your hands, lift your eyes;

in the (G)storm is where you’ll find Me.

And where you are, I’ll hold your heart, I’ll hold (G)your heart.

Come to Me; find your rest

in the (G)arms of the God who won’t let go.

So, when you’re (C)on your knees and an swers seem so (C)far a way,

you’re not a lone.

Stop hold ing on, and just be held.

Your (C)world’s not fall ing a part; it’s fall ing in to place.

I’m on the throne; stop hold ing on and just be held,

just be held,

(Dm)just be held,

(G)just be held,

(Dm)just be held.
