My mom passed away from cancer when I was 8, all my grandparents were gone by the time I was 13, and my best friend died when I was 15. Now, my dad has cancer and I worry about it so much, but this song makes me cry and feel better each time because I know that God is there for me and He has held me through all of this. Praise God!
I just recently lost my niece, her husband and two young daughters in a fire. They were celebrating an anniversary and the cabin they rented burnt to the ground. None survived. This song is one of a few that gives me consolation. When I hear it, it centers me. I then start thinking straight again. Thank you Jesus.
This song "Held" was for me during the time my beautiful 28 year old daughter, Bobbie Sunshine, was in a coma for 58 days then died. God "Held" Me! He "Held" Me! I played this at her funeral and I listen to it regularly for since 2010 but this is the first post. My daughter is no longer suffering and is in a good place! I will be with you again, my girl. Mommy loves you so much!!
Thank You, God, for holding me tight during emergency surgery and the prior pain. Thank You, Lord, for holding me as churches have prayed for my healing. Thank You for everything little thing You have done to help me slowly recover from 2, almost 3, months of excruciating physical pain. I adore You, God
This song came on the radio when I was going to the doctor for my very first appointment to confirm my pregnancy. Little did I know at that time what this song would come to mean to me. On August 29, my baby boy (Zachary) went from my womb into the arms of Jesus. While my heart is broken, I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that I am HELD by the ONE who loves me with perfect love and He will never let me go. Every time I hear this song I am awe struck by how much God loves each of us.
After the loss of your son this song had a new meaning to me. The promise was we were "Held". God was there the entire time and still is. Bless Nat for making this song as God shines through it all.
I will teach Sunday school tomorrow and will show this video to my students. The study is on hardships and miracles. This song though lets us know that God is soverign and some times he chooses not to heal. Even in these life's tragedies we are "held." :)
This has been a year of loss for me-my job of over ten years, my grandmother, two friends and now possibly my home. This song reminds me that I am not alone and that God is with me now and always.
i'm sitting here crying because of the beauty and sorrow of this song. i hope that the parents of this child are looking up at the sky in happiness because Jesus now holds their child. God bless you.
God has not promised Sky's always blue Flower strewn pathways All our live through God has not promised Sun without rain Joy without sorrow Peace without pain But God has promised Strength for the day Rest for the labour Light for the way Grace for the trials Help from above Unfailing sympathy Undying love
i came early to church last sunday and i just heard this song.... God thank you for making me realize you're always here for me...... God bless us everyone :)
This song is soo true. I lost one of my best friends today, he was killed in a car accident. And this song shows us that even though we think we hit rock bottom, Weve been held up high all along.
This song is such a beautiful prayer. My heart broke and rejoiced at the same time. You have such a beautiful voice. Why have I not heard from you before. Keep on praying in your songs. This is your calling.
my aunt passed away last night and i have been listening to this song all day. i can't stop crying or thinking about her. she didn't deserve to die so young and with a loving family needing her. i don't know if i can live without her....
I was held so many times...God was so great to me and swept my tears many times.He is still holding me so tight and is walking side by side with me.To all those who are still waiting to be held, this song is the right answer to all your pain.
This is like salve for wounds. In 2007 our family realationships were at crossroads. This song really helped us along with a very incourageing christain couple who understood what we were going through.
An all time favorite that speaks deeply to our hearts. God has, more than once, used me to do the holding. We who have been "held" are also called to hold. There is never a time when I am more aware of His love than when He uses me as His conduit.
I lost my brother last year. In Aug 2020. I miss you! I prayed for him a lot, could've prayed even more. I wasn't there to say good bye to him. i didn't find out until the day after he died. It shattered my whole world. She was addicted to drugs and alcohol. He was so lost. I was soo terried he would pass away. I remember going to the funeral home and I could barely breathe. He was my only sibling!!! :'( I miss you! I know Jesus has a plan, I just didn't expect it to go this way. I hope he cried out to Jesus before he died! He almost died, or did die the month before, but they revived him. :'( I miss you. Love You! Your only sister.
This song reminds me of how i felt when my brother died. He was there to explain to me what my fathers alcoholism was, what it meant...I pray every night with thanks to God that I lived through it. I write this comment in tears and faith for tomorrow, and God. R.I.P Drew, none of us will ever forget you. God bless.
This song has been in my heart since I was diagnosed with breast cancer in November 2020. The first surgery didn't get everything. I am having a bilateral mastectomy on March 8. My 80 year old mom is going to wait while I'm in surgery until I am taken to my room. She said since she can't fix this hurt like she could when I was little. She wants to be close to me in case I need her. Once a mom, forever a mom. I want to hear this song just before I go into the surgery.
7 months ago I lost my second son out of four boys. at his service in church we had a slide video with Natalie Grant song held he will not be forgotten we miss him we know he's with Jesus
i heard this for the first time a week ago...my daughter sang it in her church that sunday with nothing but vocals and karaoke music that she bought the previous friday. she is so talented and i am NOT biased...i actually am very hard to please...which is sad b/c she doesn't understand that i am demanding her best and there is no doubt she can do it. anhoo--i fell in love with this..."better hands" will be sung at my funeral! TY NATALIE GRANT--U R PHENOMENAL.
THIS SONG IS IN MEMORY FOR MY BABY GIRL THAT WE LOST AT SUCH AN EARLY TIME IN HER LIFE. SHE WILL ALWAYS BE LOVED AND MISSED SO VERY DEARLY. IF ANY OF YOU HAVE EVER LOST A CHILD YOU WILL KNOW WHAT WE ARE GOING THROUGH AND KNOW THAT ITS NOT THE EASIEST THING TO DO. ALWAYS WANTING TO HOLD YOUR BABY AND KNOWING THAT YOU WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO DO THAT.
i have looked for this song for many times and no one had it. In my country there is a christian Tv station called Channel 44 which has got a program broadcasting worship jams every Saturday and they used this as a program song. I love it more than u can imagine.I believe you get time and check this, Thank you being a blessing to me and the other. There those moments which just need some one to relax and reflect, you come to believe that " that what it means to be loved" God bless you
being hurt by the church, freaky priest; i thought i may loose my way. this song reminds me that no human has power over me because i have Mother Father God to hold me. Thank you Ms. Natalie for reminding me with your beautiful music. Love you. Peace and Blessings.
this song helped me through losing my friends, the rapes and being emotionally abused....I'll always have faith that we will be held through our hard times, we just need to believe
Thank you so much for such an awesome beautiful song and video. Sharing with a Bible forum, by the One who holds us. Jesus said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you. You are Mine. I have your name inscribed on the palm of My nail-pierced hands. Our Savior holds, unborn babies, (miscarriages), little children and all people in His arms. Stay close to Jesus and He will never let you go. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." Oh, How He Loves Us All. +
He will comfort us in our time of need if we allow Him to. His grace extends to our sorrow and pain, just as it does to our sin. His love for us in all encompassing.
This song is one I listen to when I start to get stuck on my son who passed away in October 2014 at 2wks old. It makes me so sad but helps all at once!!!
this song really helped me through the loss of my mom and sister share it with all of those who may need a boost due to the loss of a loved one.. absolutely beautiful.......................
Recently a very dear friend of mine was murdered. I have cried myself to sleep many times since I heard. At these times in our lives, we can truly understand what this song means. It is at these times that we feel "held".
Yooo I remember hearing this song as a kid I used to get emotional from it and cry I didn't understand because I was 5. I used to turn off the radio to it was crazy. 🤣 I was going through purity something. 😂 I'm glad to see it's not copyrighted I'm now 20 and I still love this song.
Just Amazing. I Love This. Jesus Is Who I Live For, And Always Will Live For. I Cna't Wait Till The Day When I Finally Meet HIm In The Clouds, And See His True Majesty.
this is the only song that i have ever felt so much meaning and powerful words! thank God for giving me these feelings. it has changed my life, praise God! im seeing Chris tomlin in concert! first concert ever
Two days ago was the anniversary of the day a friend of mine was killed by a drunk driver on his way home from a Bible study. Next month is the anniversary of the day my stepsiblings were shot by my stepdad's ex-wife's second husband. My friend and my stepsiblings are all with Jesus Christ, but the pain still lingers. I listen to this song at this time of year.
I remember hearing this beautiful God-inspired song at 4:00 a.m. when I was working the night shift bar rush at a local restaurant in the U.P. I wept so hard I could not go back out into the restaurant. I ran home that morning and Googled. I read the song was inspired when Natalie Grant saw an episode of "Law and Order" SVU that dealt with human trafficking. I weep so deeply for the souls of these innocent children of God every time I hear it, and cannot help but boil with hatred for the sin
We lost our grandbaby last month on his two-month birthday, and a friend purchased a download of "Held." I thought it was ironic that the baby in the song was two months old too. I have felt the arms of Jesus hold me; I wish my family could feel the same thing.
this is so true and we need to remember that God know what He's going and everything in our lives(even the bad things) work in some way to honor Him. we should praise Him in the high spots and cling to Him in the low spots.
i heard this song years ago when i was very young when it first came out . My grandma and i loved it it was one of my grandmas favorite songs at one point . 4 Months ago i had my son Zeke he was a stillborn , i came across this song again and listened to the words i understand it now .
Wow this song gives me soo much comfort. Today my aunt lost her first child, a boy. Just listening to this song, lets me know that even through this extremely hard God is still here right besides us and he is indeed holding us together. I just want to ask you guys to pray for my family. thank you and God bless you all and anyone else whose going through any situation :)
This song is amazing! Love the lyrics the video and it has soooo much meaning in my life right now...to all I'm going through and I know God won't ever let me down :)
My dad died when i was 5 ... dint make such a great impact on me cause i din't understand what death was 2 months back my mom passed away due to cancer and i knew there was no one for me my grandmother took me in .... just two weeks back grandmother who was a widow since she was 35 just died.... i cried cause everyone i hold dear is just leaving me my Aunt is taking care of me like i am her daughter and God has been my constant comfort and once i herd this song i kno God still there for me.
This song is beautiful. I lost my mom 5 years ago... she was only 51 and have had several failed pregnancies[RIP Baby November 02', Jalen Michael 03', Sarah Elizabeth 98'}. It reminds me that as cruel as this life can be.. this is not all there is...
this song is so beautiful..... no matter how many time i listen to it brings back so many memories of the past so so many memories ..... my guilty Sins so many
this song makes me feel so releived that god will hold us threw those bitter times. counting on god is the best thing you can ever do. he always comes threw. not that very seond but soon on his time. thank goodness i'm on god's side.
Me too. Now that I understand what "Held" means I get what the song is about. I cry every time I hear it. I suppose can't imagine being that mom who lost her child.
I understand that "Held" was written based on Vaneetha's story of the death of her infant son. I plan to share the video/song with my GriefShare group when we meet this evening.
+Marsha Guthrie Actually, Held was written by Natalie's friend, Christa. She lost two people she cared very much about in two months. Christa wrote this song and Natalie set it to music.
I am going through GriefShare right now. I had heard this song before, hadn't realized that this song was written for. This song is that much more powerful.
My heart goes out to you! I lost my sister to a tagic accident at 19. I didn't think i would ever get over it!!! But the lord is our refuge and our strength! He is the only One who understand and loves us so much,. She is in heaven with Our precious LORD and doesn't have to see the horrible things in this world that are going on. I am so sorry. He never leaves us or abandons us. Rest all our burdens on Him. My brother has Pancreatic Cancer now. GOD is with us always! mydogrudy7
My precious daughter was born sleeping on July 8, 2012...I have been trying in vain to understand why...I was 20 wks & 4 days pregnant with her beautiful soul...But to know she's up there and is safe in God's arms makes it a little easier somedays to cope...And I rejoice in the day that I am reunited with her...Mommy and Daddy love nad miss you so very much Preincess Mackenzie
My mom passed away from cancer when I was 8, all my grandparents were gone by the time I was 13, and my best friend died when I was 15. Now, my dad has cancer and I worry about it so much, but this song makes me cry and feel better each time because I know that God is there for me and He has held me through all of this. Praise God!
How are you now? I'll be praying for you.

My infant son passed away a few months ago and this song holds so many thruths. Any greiving parent can relate to it!
Thanks for the beautiful song!!!
After the loss of your son this song had a new meaning to me. The promise was we were "Held". God was there the entire time and still is. Bless Nat for making this song as God shines through it all.
i needed to be held today!! thank you Jesus for your unfailing love!
I will teach Sunday school tomorrow and will show this video to my students. The study is on hardships and miracles. This song though lets us know that God is soverign and some times he chooses not to heal. Even in these life's tragedies we are "held." :)
I heard this song on the way to a good friend's funeral and it spoke to us. A God sighting!
Very inspiring song for anyone who has had a terrible loss in their life. There is One who is there to comfort us and see us through any trial.
This has been a year of loss for me-my job of over ten years, my grandmother, two friends and now possibly my home. This song reminds me that I am not alone and that God is with me now and always.
i'm sitting here crying because of the beauty and sorrow of this song. i hope that the parents of this child are looking up at the sky in happiness because Jesus now holds their child. God bless you.
I believe in you GOD no matter how bitter the world is
Lost 3 loved ones in last 7 months. This is still a tear jerker whenever I hear it but also reassuring that God is with us.
God has not promised
Sky's always blue
Flower strewn pathways
All our live through
God has not promised
Sun without rain
Joy without sorrow
Peace without pain
But God has promised
Strength for the day
Rest for the labour
Light for the way
Grace for the trials
Help from above
Unfailing sympathy
Undying love
That's an awesome little poem! Did you write it?
This is great this can make the day of a lot of people. It just made my day.
thanks for sharing this...
it's what i need today.
i feel the downward spiral of depression creeping up on me...
for no reason..it seems.
Praise the Lord!
I love that

Right now in my life i would love to feel the love of Jesus. This song helps bring me a little closer to my savior.
I cried the first 10 times I heard this song.

This song never fails to make me cry. Sometimes we forget that God holds us in times of sorrow. What a wonderful Savior. Your grace amazes me.
Just lost my 2 year old cousin last night, remembered hearing this song as a young girl and found my way back here.
THIS SONG IS IN MEMORY FOR MY BABY GIRL THAT WE LOST AT SUCH AN EARLY TIME IN HER LIFE.

When we lost our mother, this song really gave us comfort....
Hurting, Pain, Suffering...? This song shows us the Comforter= Jesus (Yashuah)! "Can we not wait one hour... For our Savior?"... Love (from SFTom)
Lost our first grandchild to stillbirth @ 38 weeks ... RIP dear Spencer, he was so beautiful! *sob*
Listen, I'm glad no one could see me in person...
I'm a grown man and, well...
I just had something in my eye, that's all!
This song helped me when my husband died. Beautiful!
I've heard this around 20 times the past three days. I love this song.
God bless Natalie. May more people write and compose like her.
this song really helped me through the loss of my mom and sister share it with all of those who may need a boost due to the loss of a loved one.. absolutely beautiful.......................
Recently a very dear friend of mine was murdered. I have cried myself to sleep many times since I heard. At these times in our lives, we can truly understand what this song means. It is at these times that we feel "held".

Two days ago was the anniversary of the day a friend of mine was killed by a drunk driver on his way home from a Bible study. Next month is the anniversary of the day my stepsiblings were shot by my stepdad's ex-wife's second husband. My friend and my stepsiblings are all with Jesus Christ, but the pain still lingers. I listen to this song at this time of year.
I listen to this everyday, and everyday It never fails to tug at my heart, the music and the words calms my spirit.
Goodness..I love this song..it's so alive
God is the only reason I survived the loss of my grandfather. I thank god every day . He's the thing I had held onto after giving up for so long.
Trials and Circumstances in our life can be Very Challenging, We must "TRUST IN THE LORD WITH ALL OUR HEART" 💖
such an AMAZING so amazing song that its undescribable...soooo beautiful!
I LOVE IT! Natalie Grant has such a beautiful voice
This song is just what it is like when you have one of your children die.We had our 37 year old daughter pass suddenly.
So love this song and your video is beautiful ❤ So for 2022, can we not wait for 1 hour? We will be held, thank You Lord Jesus Christ ❤
In memory of the little ones we never got to know.. Our Father holds them in heaven...

We lost our grandbaby last month on his two-month birthday, and a friend purchased a download of "Held." I thought it was ironic that the baby in the song was two months old too. I have felt the arms of Jesus hold me; I wish my family could feel the same thing.
Im twelve and I think this is better than any pop music ever made (anything on the bloody charts)
today is my late dad anniversary..i cried while listening this song. i miss daddy so much. miss to call "dad". o Lord.
I lost 2 sons. Andrew 4/15/2009 and Alex 10/15/2015. Thank you sweet Jesus for my two sons and those wonderful memories.
this is so true and we need to remember that God know what He's going and everything in our lives(even the bad things) work in some way to honor Him. we should praise Him in the high spots and cling to Him in the low spots.
i heard this song years ago when i was very young when it first came out . My grandma and i loved it it was one of my grandmas favorite songs at one point . 4 Months ago i had my son Zeke he was a stillborn , i came across this song again and listened to the words i understand it now .
Wow this song gives me soo much comfort. Today my aunt lost her first child, a boy. Just listening to this song, lets me know that even through this extremely hard God is still here right besides us and he is indeed holding us together. I just want to ask you guys to pray for my family. thank you and God bless you all and anyone else whose going through any situation :)
This song is amazing! Love the lyrics the video and it has soooo much meaning in my life right now...to all I'm going through and I know God won't ever let me down :)

Lost my grandpa. This song played at his memorial service. I miss him.. R.I.P.
This song is beautiful. I lost my mom 5 years ago... she was only 51 and have had several failed pregnancies[RIP Baby November 02', Jalen Michael 03', Sarah Elizabeth 98'}. It reminds me that as cruel as this life can be.. this is not all there is...

this song makes me feel so releived that god will hold us threw those bitter times. counting on god is the best thing you can ever do. he always comes threw. not that very seond but soon on his time. thank goodness i'm on god's side.
Me too. Now that I understand what "Held" means I get what the song is about. I cry every time I hear it. I suppose can't imagine being that mom who lost her child.
This is the song for my ballet recital, I love it
I know this post is over a year ago, but I had to reply! I am performing a solo to this song for a competition and I absolutely love this song!
I understand that "Held" was written based on Vaneetha's story of the death of her infant son. I plan to share the video/song with my GriefShare group when we meet this evening.
+Marsha Guthrie Actually, Held was written by Natalie's friend, Christa. She lost two people she cared very much about in two months. Christa wrote this song and Natalie set it to music.
+christskid101 Yeah, I downloaded a version with Natalie giving a brief commentary before the song started.
+christskid101 Sorry! I just re-researched (is that a word? :-)) it now and found that Christa Wells did write it.
I am going through GriefShare right now. I had heard this song before, hadn't realized that this song was written for. This song is that much more powerful.
My heart goes out to you! I lost my sister to a tagic accident at 19. I didn't think i would ever get over it!!! But the lord is our refuge and our strength! He is the only One who understand and loves us so much,. She is in heaven with Our precious LORD and doesn't have to see the horrible things in this world that are going on. I am so sorry. He never leaves us or abandons us. Rest all our burdens on Him. My brother has Pancreatic Cancer now. GOD is with us always! mydogrudy7
My precious daughter was born sleeping on July 8, 2012...I have been trying in vain to understand why...I was 20 wks & 4 days pregnant with her beautiful soul...But to know she's up there and is safe in God's arms makes it a little easier somedays to cope...And I rejoice in the day that I am reunited with her...Mommy and Daddy love nad miss you so very much Preincess Mackenzie
This is a song that many need to hear in the year of what feels like an upside-down world plagued with sickness and overwhelming fear.
love it so much bless the lord who has giving us everything
I lost my kitten 7 years ago this month. This song about fits how I feel. He was only 6 months when he was ran over by a car. Miss you, Harry
