Lyrics:
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
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

I was a strong atheist. My mind could not accept the idea of a higher being even if I wanted to. On October 2018, I was in a tough situation in my life. And I was thinking to myself, I wish I could believe in a higher being so that I can turn to them. I looked up at the ceiling that day and said in arrogance and disbelief, "If you are there, show yourself/yourselves to me." I just laughed it off and slept.
On the eve of 4th of January 2019, I decided to take my own life and jump off the 5th floor. I was depressed to the bone, hopeless, and felt like the problems in my life were unsolvable. I was sitting on my bed next to the balcony, just crying and switching between apps on my phone to distract myself. I opened RUclips and found this song on my recommendations. I thought it was weird since I do not listen to Christian music, so I opened the song and started listening to it.
Even though I did not believe in any word of it, I was desperate for any hope. So I just said, "I surrender", yet in disbelief. But in that moment, in a split of a second, in less than a blink of an eye; all of the suicidal thoughts, the depression, the sadness was gone. And it was all replaced with joy and peace that can never be described by words. The same tears of depression became tears of Joy. I FELT someone hugging me saying, "I have always been with you, and I am never leaving you."
There was an old Bible in the library next to the bed I was sitting on. So, I grabbed it and felt my hands being pushed to open certain pages. All the verses I laid my eyes on felt like they were tailored to me and made sense for the first time.
I was healed from depression that was killing me. I never had suicidal thoughts after this day. I still face a lot of difficult circumstances, but I am always at peace. Jesus said, "Come to me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest," and he never failed me.
Wow amazing story! Thank you for sharing ❤ God bless you and I am so happy you found God & have found a sense of renewed peace ❤
Love this testimony
Praise God
Hi. So nice to read your testimony, hope you found a great church and people that can help you daily through God
What a beautiful testimony. All glory to God!
Hello hurting person. You are not alone. God is with you. This song has helped me so much, God has held me for so long, and has never let go. Sometimes it seems like he's losing his grip on my life, but he has always been holding me. If u r hurting, tired, annoyed, sad, angry, or lonely, please comment. I probably can't help much, only God can really help and heal u, but I will listen and pray for u. I'm here for u. Beautiful stranger, don't hesitate to comment. I love you, and I would love to listen to u.
Hello Jax, I'm holding it all together on the outside because everybody needs me strong as my wife battles cancer. On the inside... not so much.
Thanks Jax. Prayer is definitely a part of my daily life. Since you've seen cancer up close you understand how dangerous it is for someone undergoing chemo to get an infection, even a cold. I never get sick but this winter I prayed that even the smallest cold should be sent to me instead of my wife. I ended up seeing a doctor for the first time in a decade but my wife didn't have so much as a sniffle all winter despite the fact that chemo was wiping out her immune system.
Amen! Praise God for that! I keep praying that she will grow stronger and healthier day by day!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 ✋🏻
im kinda lonely but my mother made me feel better, the spirit isnt that bad anymore i think
Hiya! Thank you for this wonderful comment god bless you! I struggle with anxiety and just fear in general. So I would love prayer thank you so much!!!!!!
This song was so important to me when I went through a divorce 8 years ago - my wife Catherine decided she didn't want to be married any more. She made the announcement to me and my boys five days before our 40th anniversary. We had had a good marriage, even a great marriage most of the time. However, Catherine has always been a very independent woman with.strong personality. I have always been attracted to people with strong personalities. When she divorced me, she said, "It's not about you Cliff, it's just that I'm getting older, and I know that I would be happier if I wasn't married". I wasn't prepared at all for that announcement. Yikes! I couldn't get my head around believing that we were actually going to be divorced and for a while I was convinced that I would be able to change her mind. Nope, that wasn't going to happen. I remember being in the court room and the judge declaring that we were officially divorced. I went into a severe depression and my mind just shut down. I listened to this song over and over and over. I was just barely 'holding on' and found comfort in the thought that I could "just be held". I was a retired middle school band director/teacher who was driving school bus and motor coaches all over the northwestern United States and Canada. I found that I was having difficulty even finding my way across my hometown of Missoula, Montana. I eventually had to give up my professional driving. I was such a lost soul. I became suicidal for a while and kept a loaded hunting rifle in my living room closet, which I would take out every once in a while. I had enough fortitude to realize that suicide was a 'coward's way out' and took all of my guns over to a friend's house and asked him to store theml for me until I was better. I eventually ended up in a lock-down mental hospital for 2 weeks and then was placed in an 'assisted-living' facility where I lived for 3 1/2 years, I hated being there and felt like I was in prison, especially during CoVid lockdown times. But I had good friends who visited me and listened to me and prayed with me. And over the course of time, Jesus healed me. Too much to go into, but when I requested my neurologist to allow me to take the neurology test again (a six hour test), because I knew I was better. After it was scored, my neurologist set up an appointment and told me that he couldn't believe that I was the same person that he had seen 3 1/2 years previously. He said he had gone over the test 3 times and could not find any evidence of neurological dysfunction. He told me that in his 40-some years of practice that he had only had a couple of previous patients make such a dramatic turn around. I left the assisted-living place and am now teaching band to middle school students and driving school buses again. I just want to say that this song ministered so deeply to me, when I was really hurting. Jesus has become everything to me and is using me to minister to others who are going through their own trials. I have confidence that if Jesus healed me, they can also find His healing in their own circumstances. OK, that's all for now. Cliff
That is a wonderful testimony brother, and I’m so happy to hear of the awesome work God did with your healing!
My best friend sent me this song a while ago, and I’ve only just listened to it… It is exactly what I needed to hear, but I can’t ‘hear’ it in the way I would like to. As with you, my brain has shut down, and I’m finding it so difficult to even feed myself.
I cannot even open my Bible, which says a lot about where I am… I know I need to be in a psych hospital, but the conditions here in Australia aren’t the best inside those places. My legs and body have been so weak for so long, so it’s so difficult to do anything. I’m quite sure it’s all psychological. I’m afraid of letting go, but I have to; and allow the Lord to hold me…
I trust you’re doing well right now, and are in the place where the Lord wants you to be… God bless you, and thank you for sharing 🙏
❤
Wow, your testimony touched my soul! You could write a book and I would buy the first copy! It’s amazing how reading all the people’s testimonies can heal many of us. Thank you for sharing your story.
Cliff! What a story! When I read it TWICE, I to realized that there is something to live for! Even if it is passing on the word of God
Thank you for helping me off of MY edge.
Sarah
Just be held!
Wowwww Amen 🙏 Thank Almighty God!...
I want to thank you for this song. After the suicide of our youngest daughter in June 2018, this song "randomly" ended up in my husband's playlist. (No I don't believe it happened randomly, that is his word, I believe God used this song to reach him!) My husband was seriously backslidden, had been for years. He was dependant on alcohol and that was everything to him. Alcohol came before his marriage, his family, his job, his friends ... Long story short, he started playing this song over and over, and allowed God to hold him for the first time in years. I finally have the man I married back. He is once again a strong believer who is living for the Lord. Thank you for your faithfulness in singing for the Lord. You are a precious tool that God uses to reach the lost and hurting in this world. I pray for you often.
Y
God bless you both 🙏❤️
I'm so sorry YAHWEH loves you
Praise the LORD!
So sorry for the loss of your daughter 💔
I am a new believer. I fought depression since I was 12, and I'm now 17. For 4 years, I didn't believe in God, even though I grew up in a devout Christian house... I battled sadness everyday, and I pushed God away. I was going to commit suicide 2 years ago, and my last words were, "God if you're real. Give me something to live for." Not even an hour after, I got the news that my nephew was being born. God gave me him, and that was the day I started believing again. :)) I'm so glad I let God back in. He's my everything!
That's incredible! God bless you!
that is incredible! God us always waiting for you to see all the blessings He has in store for you. you can help others find God through your testimony!
+Cheyenne Autumn I was the same way but for 10 years and i just recently found God
praise God. He always give us a sign that He is invisibly present and within reavh

Today is 83 days since I had my stroke. One of my best friends sent this to me. My heart is crying.
Ongoing prayers for you, dear Sister. I'm thankful you're still with us to share your witness. ❤🙏 🤗
Know people are praying. So am I. I believe for miracles for you. Lord, my sister and I believe for miracles. Encourage, comfort, Lord. This is not the end. Because YOU LIVE, Jesus. Amen.
bless you sister. God is good.
My hubby and I were told that he had a terminal disease when he was 19. We were also told that the path that the disease took would determine how much time he had. For many years he did well. We deluded ourselves into believing that it was not true. Then he started having downward spirals. On the night of one of his worst spells, I heard this song and it literally brought me to my knees. I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me.
I am 14, I am a believer. I try not to let the kids at my school influence me to do wrong. This world is getting darker and darker this world needs God! One of my favorite songs. I love Unspoken as well.
Seasha is unspoken by casting crowns.. i have never heard of it and im quite curious
Unspoken is another Christian band that is amazing.
That comment is old and I can see how that is confusing.
I'm so proud of you!
Seasha you are a blessing! You stay strong and stand firm on the Word of God! You are doing the right thing by not allowing anyone influence you. Peer pressure can be a tough thing but always you are a leader not a follower! One day you will lead someone to Christ and they to will be believers of God! Thank you for sharing.
Djv N Those words mean so much to me, God bless you! I had a hard day today at work, you made my day and put a smile on my face. I’m so happy God sent you to me.
"You're worlds not falling apart its falling into place" I can't even explain how much that means to me

As a 13 year old who's battling depression and is hopeless. This song gives me hope. It tells me that there is more to live for when I dont know it. It tells me that God has got this even if my faith is starting to fall apart. This song tells me that God is always by my side and I'm not fighting this alone. That everything will be ok.
Amen sweetheart! It sure will be ok. You always cling to Jesus. Life won't always be easy, but with God I PROMISE you will get through ANYTHING. Keep his word close to your heart. That's where you get your wisdom. Prayers for you sweet girl. You are insanely loved by the God who holds the world in his hands. Don't forget that.
Don't cease praying. God hears and heals. I will be praying for you ❤️🙏
Sending so many prayers. Other songs that may speak to you are for king and country [ God only knows and David Goeke [ tell your heart to beat again. You are worthy and enough.
Exactly! There is SO much to live for....not only that you have people around you that truly love you. They may not tell you every day or when you need to hear, but they do. You are a brave person to be able to share your feelings right now. Be proud. Be happy. Keep the faith. Remember...God loves you unconditionally.
Amen. God hears the hopeless and gives them hope. My dad was diagnosed with cancer. I was scattered not knowing when to be strong and when to fall apart. He's clean and we're almost out of it but in that moment in that in-between I felt dead and empty. And the Lord showed this broken 15 year old where I was failing. Where I hid from my emotions and hid from him included. It's ok to be broken but be broken in Christ. Love ya sis or bro in Christ and everythings gonna be ok. ❤️
"Your worlds not falling apart it's falling into place"
THANK YOU GOD FOR REASSURING ME💜✝
Amen! 🙏🙏🙏
may god be with you

+Better Bunnies you make me laught:))))

Please pray for my beautiful mother. She has stage 4 breast cancer. she's been going through chemotherapy treatment and God is so good. The doctor says the cancer is 60% gone away.

This is such a good song in these Corona times. I feel God's call in these times; "Be still and know that I am God." "Let go and just be."
I only found these songs because my dad wrote a letter in 2016 and said to listen to some of these songs I barely get to see him he been in prison for awhile I'm only eleven so I went to kinder 1 2 3 4 5 grade without seeing him it going to be sixth grade.
@@361Renzo my dad left me when I was 1 and he just came back in 6th grade I'm praying for you
Amen Amen 💛🌼
Currently my personal life more than this "thing" out there causing many peoples hearts to fail them in fear. 😔🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
This song changed my life cause I'm only going into the 7th grade and my entire life I have grown up without an dad. He decided to leave me and my mom so I have grown up without him. I felt so forgotten until I listened to this song. I gave my life to christ because of this song. Thank u so much! ❤
I felt the same!!!! God told me many times: Be still and know that I am God"
2020- my world is not falling apart, it's falling into place

My words are pushing them away..I need God's divine intervention my family feels so devied.. Please SOS PRAYERS FOR MY LOVED ONES...Praise you Jesus
Here's my story in a few sentences as a testimony. I hope that someone reads it. As a child I went to church. Then as a teen I lost my faith because of alcohol and false friends. Some years later I realized that this kind of life sucks. I even started a trainee as a Bible Teacher. In the middle of it I got ill with a tumor in my head. I thought my life would be over now, but I survived the operation. After a few years of working I got a second tumor in my stomach. It was operated, too and again I survived. Unfortunally the tumor came back again and now doctors can't help me anymore. But, after all, I still believe in Jesus. You can loose everything you have, but he is there from the beginning of your life until eternity.
1988deef hi i read your story one year later you texted it. How are you are you fine? Bless you!
That's God's work
@Faith Marmor You are so right. Thanks a lot!
@@ernie0310 I agree.
Praise God he's got you.
I have recently been diagnosed with severe anxiety and have wanted to end my life so many times, but i am not going to. This song has helped me so much. I am only 13 and I know that God is my savior and always will be!
+Emma Shelton God has great plans for you
Liz Juhnke thank you so much
+Emma Shelton The worst battles are for the best, strongest and most talented soldiers. Remember so when you feel like you cant fight no more. Your strength comes from above, so its never ending. You're his precious little princess and He holds you in his arms every time you cry. You'll find His peace. Just hang on and you'll see his light shining upon your life.
Eu Ag thank you a lot!
amen. same here. anxiety and depression, but I have found peace in the lord. he calms me and heals all. pray to god with faith and know you'll be blessed. I'll be praying for you
My dad and his wife have COVID, but are GETTING BETTER, : ) My dad also had 8 cardiac arrests in October of 2019 and survived when the doctors thought he wouldn't, and when he was born, the doctors thought he was dead, but his grandma started rubbing his chest and praying, and boom he was alive. I believe God has a bigger plan for him than he can even begin to IMAGINE.
Edit: In June of 2020, they were completely cured of EVERYTHING
AMEN!!!!
Wow! God bless y’all always and forever!💖
Alexa & Jacob Moreno call answers prayers and more than just one way each and every day Believing and knowing that his plan was there before we know it

How they are doing?
When I had Stage 3 cancer and was going through treatment and felt so bad, this was my prayer: just hold me and show me what to do. He did. He has healed me and has plans for me. If you’re going thru a tough time, know that He loves you and has a plan for you. Just be held. ❤️Jane
❤🙏
I, too, had stage 3 cancer, in 2014.....& my daughter sent this song to me.....
I’ve cried many times, while listening to these truths, & felt her love, as well as my Saviour’s comfort....Praise God!😇🙏
He's always working in us that are his I had to witness to my father on his death bad he died of lung cancer I gave him his last liquid codeine and watched him die in front of me and Mom keep fighting the good fight of faith and lay hold on eternity God bless you all
When I had cancer this one of my songs.
I have cancer but it is blood and marrow
My father on earth is in the hospital so I'm currently crying out to my father in heaven asking why this happened. Then suddenly like a scream in my head it told me to watch this and now I know that god is in control.. Thank you Casting Crowns. And please pray for me I'm just a kid. If you are reading this part that I'm typing right now, then thank your for taking your time. Thank you for everyone down there that helped me through this. When I read back through this today I was truly amazed and it brought tears to my eyes. Thank you, my brothers and sisters in Christ.
"I'm on the throne stop holding on and just be held." That means EVERYTHING to me.

Bruh im younger im 14 XD JK
U might think ur alone but god is always be with u when i was sick and i prayed the next day i wasnt sick :)
"...Your world's not falling apart, it's falling into place..."
I almost walked away from the Lord,and I came to the awareness that he has not let me go.
He never does. Came close as well, (assuming) Brother. Decades of crap, always working to "figure it out." We simply can't, in my experience alone. Once I gave up my need for control & gave it to God, everything fell into place.
Failed military career, failed marriage, 16 years homeless (not consecutive), near starvation many times, near hypothermic many times, tip of the iceberg there but summation.
I gave it up, gave it to God. That's how we win. ❤🙏 🤗
AMEN ❤️ 🙏
I am 15 when I was separated from my family.
I realized that being far away from your family is so hard, because honestly, I literally have no one. I have no one to talk about my problems, I have no one when I'm so down, when I'm hopeless, when things go wrong, when all of them is against me. Going home from school without mother and father, how I miss going home then seeking where my mother is. Even in a crowded place I feel so empty. But then I have learned a lot of things, what's right from wrong, controlling my emotions, and participating in God's ministry. Then, I realize that im so blessed since I'm just a child, because I felt God is always there for me, even in my worst and bad times he's always their protecting me. He never forsake me. This sufferings is worth it because it's not just for me. It's also for my family and I know I'm not alone till the end because God is always right beside me.
@ Lorie Anne Dote - strength comes through grace, faith & love. First, always live through personally loving you. El Rio - is The Master seeing all that you are facing. There will be times that uncertainty & trials will draw us closer to God. Believe with full positivity that your destiny has more for you. You must be your #1 cheerleader- 'I can do, I can live, I can face' .. anything for my strength comes from above The Master that grants you breath daily. Lean on The written Word, listen to encouraging Christian music, always seek the light of The Lord & see yourself mentally where you want to go. God feeds positive dreams & sometimes The Master builds them up beyond where you imagined. Walk by faith Lorie Ann Dote .. May you always live with joy & happiness.
I'm on the edge of giving up and then I decided to look for a Christian song that could give me answers. This song left me speechless. I'm crying the whole time I'm watching this. These words in this song is exactly what I need right now. Thanks God for holding me tonight.
+Florayde Ken Bernardez And He will continue to hold you! He gave you this song when you needed it most. That's God saying, "Here my child, I know you need this". How awesome is that, that the God of everything takes time for us, and gives us what we need when we need it!
Carol Lugg He indeed helped me through my anxiety! Guess what? I'm free from anxiety now. Things has gotten better.
+Florayde Ken Bernardez Me also. :)
Same here!! God bless you!
God always knows and is always on time. That you God for you wonder and love

Although we may not see it God has a plan for you, and he also has people thinking about you and praying for you. I love you and God loves you, stay strong, God has you in his arms.
"There's freedom in surrender."
"Your world is not falling apart, it's falling into place."
These lines struck me deeply. Surrender and allow God to position you in His perfect purpose.
For all GODS CHILDREN WHO FEEL ALONE, OR HURTING JUST KNOW GODS HOLDING ON TO YOU AND ISN'T FINISHED WITH YOU AND YOUR STORY .. YOUR LIFE WILL BE ABUNDANT LY BETTER JUST THE BEGINNING NOT THE END.

My husband and best friend in the world died of cancer last month and today it actually hit me that he is really gone and I have to live life without him. I felt so broken this morning and God seemed so far away that all I could do was cry. I was out driving around when I heard this song on the radio and it just ministered to me like nothing else could! I have been trying to be strong for everyone but inside I have felt so lost and so alone. When I got home I got on my knees and just gave it all up to the Lord because I cannot walk this journey alone. I know now that it's okay to be where I am in this journey and just be held
hallelujah I pray that the Lord will bring comfort in the mist of this situation I too lost a loved one a few yrs ago my mom had passed sway when I wad only 14 and I rememebr crying out to God because the pain and hurt seeemed unbearable may God bring comfort as he has brought to me and has allowed me to.minsiter to others because of what I have gone through

This song has encouraged me so much. About 6 years ago my husband was very sick , 40 days in the hospital. The Lord really worked in him during that time. He was a changed man , he had known the Lord... but he was just so touched by the Lord during those 40 days .
This August we both got covid , he got really sick, he ended up in ICU and on a vent . He did not survive . 19 days of not being able to see him until the day he died. By God’s grace and mercy , we were allowed to be in the room with him for a while before they took him off the vent . We got to hold his hand , pray, and play music as he passed into glory . I am so happy for him , he is with the Lord, whom he loves so much. But we are heartbroken . My life seems like it is falling apart, I know the Lord is working and putting it back the way he wants it . This is a hard journey, often a scary one as well . Trying to keep my eyes on the Lord. Asking him to hold and comfort my broken heart .. trying not to be in control, but to surrender to His will and purpose .. to just be held .
Casting Crowns Scars In Heaven, I'm so sorry for your loss, God is with you all the time and he hear's our cries, much love and prayers for you that he comfort you ❤️
@@crystylev4571 Thank you 💞
I am so sorry for you, I hope you have grown to be a better person then what you were
Oh Sweetie this is my story too. I also lost my husband to Covid. I am praying for you just don't let go of the Lord's hand. He will get us both thru this 😢
I was just diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia which is also known as the suicide disease because of the unimaginable pain it produces. I ran away from God when I was in 10th grade. My best friend was my pastors son, he was a grade under me. He passed away during basketball practice at school and from that day till now I have been running but I've decided that it's time to stop running and kneel and just be held.
Be blessed and free. I see you.
Amen be held. Praying for complete deliverance in Jesus name!
Womp womp
im struggling at school (christian school) the teachers are failing me the kids are mean to me and everything is just a disaster until my mother showed me this song and it was amazing how instantly i knew God was in the room and every thing was and is going to be ok no matter how hard the kids and teachers go i will push out to the end!
+Kaitlyn Balcom your world's not falling apart it's falling into place :)
+Kaitlyn Balcom Sounds rough, God be with you. I wish I could relate, but I went through Public School, not the same thing.

Sad seems like a Christian school wouldn't be that way; ( Hold you're head high you are a child of God ♡
The song did not make me cry but after reading the comments and seeing how much everyone needs Jesus and healing i was sobbing and btw i pray for alot of people who ask for prayer for one thing or another.
I want to start Chrisitan schools. I am in seminary and it seems like no one cares about schools. K-12 are needed. I have a family and need to provide. Please pray God allows me to do both. Thank you.
In October of 2015, my son was arrested and then sentenced to 6+ years in prison. As a Mom, I was heartbroken and feeling helpless. I was always taking care of others and 'fixing things".
But I learned to surrender while listening to this song. It seemed to come on my car radio everyday and eventually I trusted that God would take care of me and my son and I "could just be held". So grateful!
Keep on trusting Him😇
And he is probably still in jail to this very day
I have always been a strong person. I was on the storm. I was diagnosed with 2 kinds of cancer. I was horribly sick. I was bathed in holy water with prayers. I have the cells in my body, but they cannot find the cancer. I take no treatments for it. I just go every 6 months through all sorts of tests. I was holding on. Jesus was holding on to me. Jesus has better plans for me.
Someone smarter than me told me, "when you give it to God, don't take it back!" now a day before surgery i'm thinking of this song and reminding myself, Don't Take It Back!
Don't worry, he won't! I can assure you of that!
After 7 brain surgeries, 6 this year alone ,2 were double brain surgeries.
I listen to this song and have to give My life and illness to God. what else do I have ? one day I will be out of this misery I am in, and in the Arms of Jesus , healed and no pain. but for now songs like this get me by.
thank you so much .. I hope one day to see them in concert. been to sick to go so far tho. God is so good to me tho..
I'm glad to read that you gave you life to christ and I constantly battle my own problems and have gavemy life to christ also
Let go and let GOD he has this ..PRAYING for health

Made me think of a friend I haven't seen in years. He's in and out of jail now, but one of the last times we hung out, we listened to this song. We were both crying by the end of it. Oh Lord, please help him. Please Lord, please help Chris.
Praying for your friend, Chris.
A year later and here I am on a different account, still never forgetting Chris. I still pray that God saves him, and that I might be able to witness to Chris one more time

Wow, I scrolled through these comments and see MANY MANY stories from very young people 8-16 years old and my heart is breaking for each of you...please listen closely to the words of this song, Jesus is your answer, I came out of a lot myself and couldn't have done it without Jesus
love it.do something to you on the inside
Albert vd Westhuizen i hope i will never forget that kids problems matter too... infact possibly more. for the fact that they are influenced to do things and if they are ignored they would be more likely to go deeper and deeper into the society of lies
too be honest i am at a hurdle in my christian life and im only 15, if anyone sees this please pray for me i really need to see the light so that i can shine it. These lyrics really talk to me as i currently just need to be HELD.
Hey Steven!
I'm happy to see your honesty and openness, it must have been quite a step for you to come clean like this. I've been in that stage as well as you, I am only 16, but I can tell you one thing my man... Jesus died for your sins! God loves you so intensely for who you are, but loves you too much to let you remain that person! He is willing to change you in the name of Jesus! If you walk in faith, you can move mountains in Jesus' name! If I think about the story of moses and his people, I am amazed by their faith! Just imagine... The king has decided that after many many years, your huge extended family can finally leave the country where they were in captivity for a long time! So everybody is happy to be leaving and they go quickly, before the king changes his mind. But when they have finally left the desert, they come to a huge sea! And they're like... God... Seriously? You've lead us out of Egypt and now we're stuck here, with the army of the pharaoh chasing us.. And moses lifts up his hands, places his staff in the water and the sea splits into two! And we're not just talking about a little pool, it's a RIVER! It must've been very deep, like hundreds of meters! It must've been scary for the people to walk there, because the sea could come crashing down to you any moment! But they had faith, and God led them through! It was scary, but afterwards you come to the conclusion it was His awestruck wonder! His powerful saving! Now, I don't know if you've ever had a red-sea moment like this that you can look back on and say, wow! But I do know that God loves you intensely, and if you realize that with all of your heart, mind and soul... He has changed you! You can be the city on the hill for others to shine bright!
I will pray for you my brother!
thanks man :)
If you're ever having problems with your walk of faith, don't be scared to talk about it! There is always family or brothers and sisters in faith to talk with you about your struggles, so just try ;)
Stephen Beck Hi Stephen, I pray for you in the name of Jesus, that He reveals Himself to you. that God gives you so much light and so much wisdom. That you will have a personal relationship with God. That you will not go out there and seek the wrong stuff. You are at a wonderful age. You can determine your destiny now. There is a 10 year window period, example, what happens to you in the next 10 years depends on you, HOW you want it all to happen. When a person is disciplined and focused on God and God's Word, the Bible, then you will have WISDOM & DISCERNMENT. We are part of this world, but the decision in the end is still yours. Work hard, study diligently and become a leader in the field that you want to pursue. He will never leave or forsake you.
God bless you I pray in the name of Jesus that just as he drew me out of darkness by his unfailing love and his faithfulness he will do the same for you and i know because he loves us all and he said he came to save the world not condemn it. In Jesus name help this person. 🙏 Amen
It’s never too late to like this song. So if your one of the people who disliked the song, it’s not to late
period 💞
😊
Some people have to go through the hate for God just to find Him, you cannot hate something that doesn't exist, their belief started with that dislike button, one day they will come back to this song that stirred up such emotion and they will understand He is Good!!
@@brandonwashington2917 I love this comment
I LOVE this song! My local radio station started playing it a couple of weeks after my brother died. Like God was speaking directly to me. I was desperately trying to hold on and be strong for my mom and my son. Thank you, Lord Jesus, for this timely message.
I love this song I'm a single mum and getting baptised soon 🙌
I lost my husband last June, I didn't want to go on living. Satan had me convinced to take my life. I prayed and the Lord started working. I heard this song....and starting crying. I decided to Just be held instead of trying to hold on. Thank you Jesus for holding me.
+Alma Branham Amen!!! God bless you
+Alma Branham Thank you so much for the replies. I am still struggling hard. I miss my soulmate, best friend, love of my life. I am struggling to live. I am only existing. Losing 6 family members in 2015 has spiraled my life. Especially the loss of my husband and sister. Thank you for the prayers. May God bless you all.
I lost my husband to suicide on Thanksgiving in 2017. I’ve been wallowing in my pain, begging God for understanding in everything that happened. I’ve carried so much guilt for it that I considered joining him to prevent hurting anyone else the way that Richard (my husband) hurt. I saw so many people that cared about me and sought out help today instead of taking my life and my pastor recommended this song after everyone at my church prayed over me today. I have been so mad at God that I haven’t been allowing to give me comfort and the understanding that I sought. When I heard this song, I got chills and finally took a step towards healing from my loss instead of tormenting myself with it. I miss and love my husband desperately, but I also know that (no matter how bad things were when we were together) he loved me and wouldn’t want me to be so miserable. He wouldn’t want me to destroy myself the way I have been. He told me so in his last letter. My babies that I miscarried won’t want me to end my life, they would want me to live it and give them a mother worth loving when it is my time to go. Job praised God, despite the immense suffering and heartache he survived. Job knew that the one constant he had was God. Instead of being mad at Him, I need to give myself over to Him to heal me. I won’t get better any other way. To anyone out there who feels like they are losing touch with the world; who feels like their life is one mistake after the next, be still and quit running from the Father. Be still and let Him five you rest and healing. Be still and trust His choices because one day, something is going to happen for you and you’ll see an opportunity to help someone when you felt you had no one. You will have so much experience to be able to save someone from making the same mistakes you may have made. It happens every time, trust me.
Amen, Jesus bless you xxx
Jeremiah 32:27 "Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for me?" Almighty God can heal anything - permanently!
Come to me, all who are tired from carrying heavy loads, and I will give you rest. Place your yoke on my shoulders, and learn from me, because I am gentle and humble. Then you will find rest for yourselves because my yoke is easy and my burden is light.
Matthew 11:28-30 (GW) ❣
Powerful. That is my only thought on this song, and band
Casting Crowns is probably the best Christian band ever, because their lyrics are really anointed. You can notice it's not some short verse repeated over and over, but thoughtful and biblical phrases that go deep and grow roots. Thank God for this amazing band.
Most their songs I think are from their personal experience because Mark Hall had cancer. They have successfully removed it thank God.
chrizelse Yep
Some times I get so tired of everything the pain the trauma depression anxiety. Everyone is saying hold on but nobody holds me here is one begging me to let him hold me 😢😊
Same here, dear Sister. ❤
I have been struggling with emotions lately and I accepted Jesus Christ who has helped me
I am bawling right now. Please send prayers my way. I feel like my life is such a mess and I don't know what to do. My world is just crashing down around me and I feel helpless.
I'm praying for you.
Since the song started it made me cry. I have realized Ican't control all the things, I need to stop worring about everything and give it to the Lord.He is the only one you should be held by. Amazing song!
Dear Lord never let go . You know what's going on and I'm trusting that things will get better . I'm sorry Lord for disappointing you ...
The Lord is coming in this generation, we shall see Christ soon. So hold on and keep the commandments, reject hate and embrace forgiveness and ❤

I have been hit by many big traumas the past 20 years, and while being a Christian, have always felt that I am the one holding on. The picture that always comes to mind is that the world is sitting in His Hands, and yet, I have somehow fallen out and am clinging to his finger from underneath, holding on to my children, makibg sure they don't fall, and God doesn't care that I am holding on for dear life. I am currently fighting depression. This song's words have been very meaningful to me. Thank you.
Satan comes to steal, kill, and destroy. The closer we get to God, the harder he attacks us. Because he wants us to feel far and separated from God. But God is always with us, and He will win every single battle when we call out to Him. I've been in the same place as you, I understand the pain and struggle of depression. I will be praying for you, don't give up hope ❤️
Back in 2014 I think it was almost every time my wife and I got into our truck to go somewhere, especially on our " just us" weekend getaways " Just Be Held " was on the radio. Chris wasn't one for turning up the radio.....infact, she usually had to turn it down because I had it up too loud for her liking.
Anyway, every time " Just Be Held " played, when it came to " stop holding on and just be held " Chris would reach out, get my attention and hold my arm or hand and sing it to me in her beautiful voice.
I unexpectedly lost Chris to a massive pulmonary embolism on December 23rd 2015.
I look back on how she did that and I sometimes feel like she knew it was coming and was trying to tell me,
" don't try to hold on with your own strength because you don't have the strength to do it. Just let Him hold you. ....JUST BE HELD "

I always called myself a Christian but never understood what it meant or what it was, as I grew older and life got harder I got further away, denounced God many times but as of this year my eyes have been opened to many things and as of this year I am choosing to Love and Chase God, I now realize I cannot do anything without him and hes been here for me all along, he has saved me from death so many times and I have just recently realized how many times. I never even really read the Bible on my own and I am now a adult, I plan on reading it now for myself. If anyone that reads this has a favorite verse they want to share feel free to, I will read it and write it down along with any favorite worship songs.

To all the hurting people out there, to all the people with problems, to all the people with struggles, to all the people battling demonic spirts, to all the lonely ones, the depressed and broken ones, Here this message this is for you! Jesus truly deeply madly seriously loves you! I know you have heard it before and it may seem like “whatever dude 🙄” but it’s not, he is real, he is here, and he has your entire life in his hands just let him have it. How you ask? It’s easier than you think. Just get on your knees where ever you are right now, and say “Dear Jesus I cannot do this anymore, I cannot fight this anymore, right now lord I surrender everything to you, my entire life and my entire being belongs to you, lord I cannot do this without you help me lord to let go of everything which I must let go to be truly free and committed to you. I know I am a sinner and I cannot live without you anymore. Help me lord I am hurting. But God I know you shall and are healing me right now. From this day forward I am a new creation, in Christ and I am a child of God, amen” I promise you that if you pray that and truly believe your life will be CHANGED FOREVER!

I feel so overwhelmed by my own experience with my family in my life I think the most interesting part is how to make it look good on the surface and make a difference of things in a way and I feel that way and I'm still going through rough times!
When I started in med school, this was my song for the whole year. And now 8 years after, as I take my board exam for the 4th time, it is the song for my season. Thank you Jesus for my comfort and refuge, to surrender every piece of me to you is the right choice.
I was having a bit of a bad evening, and happened to see this video in the suggested column on the side of the video I was watching. I didn't recognise the song, but I hadn't even got half way through before I was crying. I needed to hear this, and probably have for a while

One of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. One day we will "cast our crowns" at the feet of Jesus. He alone is worthy and His love for His children is unfathomable. There will be no more death, mourning, crying or pain for the old order of things will have passed away. He will make all things new. All hearts will be made whole. I just lost my mother and I wish I could have just one more day with her. Things went pretty fast and I feel like I ran out of time and before I knew it she was gone. My heart is broken and I cannot go back in time. But, one day, thank you Lord, I will see Him (and my dear mother again). Knowing this does not stop my tears but helps comfort me that in due time all will be made right. Seek Him and you will find Him. He is our ever present help in time of need. And, until He comes, live and love and see through the eyes of Jesus for time passes quickly and is finite. You may not get another day with a loved one.
This song is just perfect. It is exactly what God knew I needed to hear. After almost 5 years, my boyfriend asked for a break because he needed to make himself a better man, this happened 2 weeks before his grandma died. It has been a month now, and after talking after a full month of separation he told that I was selfish for wanting to spend time together in the midst of his grandma being sick and that he needed more time apart.
I have been trying to figure out how to cling to this relationship. I have been scared to wait for him and scared to think that it could be over. I have been fighting thinking that my world is falling apart, and that I am alone. This is the heartbreak I never thought I would feel. This man promised to spend the rest of his life with me, a marriage, a family and that there was nothing in the world that would make him leave me. I it is hard to try to make sense of the hurt he has caused me and the lack of love I feel.
And this song combats all those feelings....I cry every time I hear it because I can feel God speaking to me through the words of Casting Crowns.
+Marley Flechsig Your story has really touched me. I can't even begin to imagine what you must be going though. I am praying that God will strengthen you and equip you with the clarity to make any decisions to be made. I am also praying for peace that passes all understanding for you and him. God Bless you.
+Marley Flechsig Right around a year ago, during my last semester in college, I met a girl in the fencing club, and we quickly became good friends. That was until late June this year, when I could no longer hide my feelings for her, which of course caused her distress and now I'm getting the silent treatment. If she wasn't such a perfect reflection of me, I'd have gotten over her by now. I still love her, and I'm stuck between trying to let go and waiting on her, knowing that humanly-speaking there's no way we can ever get back together. Meanwhile, I'm begging God to help me let go or bring our relationship back from the dead, whichever one is His will. He's made me stronger, but only enough to endure this on a moment-by-moment basis. When I first heard this song in early July, I cried my eyes out and could barely listen to it. Now I've barely shed a tear after replaying it over and over, but God still speaks to me through it. Like you, I'm scared to let go, and scared to think it's over most of the time. Part of me wants to protect myself from the pain by hardening my heart, and I feel pathetic. This song is basically all God's telling me. I get it, and sometimes its easier to accept than others, but I still can't see how God can use this. If I stop loving her, I become cold and bitter for a while and then my feelings for her come roaring back, and so I'm stuck hoping against hope that God will bring our relationship back from the dead somehow.
+Marley Flechsig I actually went through a similar situation with a girl I met in high school. We started dating in the 9th grade we met in a science class. Well we broke up on and off during school up till 10th grade. Her mother decided to move to another state on the west coast. We agreed to stay in touch and keep calling each other. Well we talked and talked until one day she says I can't do this anymore. Well my heart was shattered. I started seeing a psychiatrist for another reason, but this gave me time to open up as well. Skip 2 years ahead I get a message from my best friend he said she wrote him and she said she got married. I wont lie I was upset. I thought wow it truly is over. Skip about 1 year now I get a message from her. She was in a hospital and her husband was in prison he tried to kill her. So me being the caring loving guy I told her I was there for her. Skip about 8 months I get a text she says shes moving back to town. We decided to meet and eat some where. My parents took us and we stopped for lunch. I was silent I had no words to say I just froze. I thank God my dad was there he talked majority of the time. We started talking again and we are dating again. OK back to the beginning I was going to a christian high school prior to going to public school where we met. So I new God and how to pray. I asked God I said the next girl I date I want her to be the one. I prayed for her to come back and sure enough through Gods work she came back. I want to say this you will know if the relationship is right, always be open minded to the possibility that God will also open a new door in your life. He will never give you too much that you can't handle. The thing that worries me about him wanting time apart and also pushing you away during a rough time makes me think God has other plans for you. I should also mention my grand father was getting sicker and dying during the time my gf came back. When he passed away I asked her to please be there with me during the viewing and the funeral. She did come and I was so happy to have her there. I am sorry this is so long and I will be praying for you God Bless.

What an amazing story, Justin. I don't want to give myself false hope, but I think God's speaking to me through you. My situation is that I fell for a girl I met in September of last year during my final semester in college, and her first. We were starting to be good friends until I basically had to confess my feelings for her, and I panicked when she didn't respond. Being a softy like yourself, I tried to apologize, tried to explain that she didn't have to feel the same way, but not only did she tell me that I needed to respect her feelings, but I was also told that she was in distress by her folks, who thought I was blaming her, which I wasn't. This was late June, early July. In August, I felt compelled to reach out and try to apologize again, and got silence. Every other week or so, I couldn't help but send another email, trying to make things right. Well, Friday I was told that I was bordering on harassment, because they thought I was trying to hit on her or something, to which I replied that the only reason why I sent those emails was guilt. But somehow, today God is starting to turn things around, because I just got an email from her dad saying I shouldn't feel guilt, only redemption. It just seems too much to hope for. I don't know what God's up to, but things are starting to look up. Thanks for sharing your story and God bless.
This sounds like me and my ex in a way. I had been with girls before her and thought I had known what love was like, but I was so wrong. From the very first moment her and I started talking it was as if I was meeting someone I'd known for the longest time and had always been connected to. Before that I was going through awful choices.. I'd been so lost and had no clue what to do or where to go in life. Everything seemed like I was repeating the same mistakes. I was around that time going through some trying of the spirits. As a kid I was a Christian, but after my parents divorced I figured he'd forgotten about me. I was an atheist, then a Norse paganist, then Thelema follower, and then one day everything I'd been shown and piecing together finally clicked. It was in that moment that I was beyond humbled and God had finally snapped me out of it. I started believing in God and talking to Him again. Well fast forward back to meeting her. We end up dating and I know it's a sign God is happy I'm making the right steps. Her and I have a great relationship, everything great, and I was changing so much for the better, but I start regressing not in belief, but in actions.. Well eventually after enough of the old me going backwards again, God takes her away from me, she leaves me. It was in that moment I'd seen how wrong I was.. How much I'd abused the most amazing blessing God had given me in my entire life.. I finally was humbled and even as I type this tears well up (tears of happy loving memories). I'd come back to the Father, but I hadn't yet given my life to Christ. It was after she left I truly began changing and it was all through Jesus Christ's love. I stopped partying, I stopped hanging out with friends who only cared for worldly things, I started trusting in the Father, and began living as best I could for His plan for me. I promised my ex I'd wait for her because I knew nobody else had ever made me want to change for them like I desired to change for her, so I'd be better deserving of her. I'd never been so happy and I'd never had a girl that truly loved me like she actually did. The only girl to make me want marriage, children, to abstain until that point, to have a family founded in Christ, a faithful and true girl, and a girl who'd do anything to prove she loved me. She hasn't come back, but I know I love her and I only want her by my side. I told God that I'd never be with anyone else and to this day I continue to wait. Jesus Christ helped set me free from the drugs, constant sexual lusting, hypocrisy, stealing, fear, and hurt. I'll wait for her forever because I know God won't let me let go for some reason. I pray that His will be done though and that if He isn't going to give me her hand again then I'm fine with the fact I'll be single. I don't need another girl to be happy and she's the only one I can see myself with. I need God the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. I will wait for her even if it means I wait for the rest of my life. For now I'll just keep trying to preach the love that is given to us all by our Father through Christ. I do admit though of all the things I miss most about her, one of the most missed would be her playing guitar or piano and singing while I was around. I pray God will always watch over her and help her to be happy, with or without me. Never fear though and never doubt for God is able to do all in the end. I love you all and God does as well.
(Sorry for the long post).
I have been struggling with something for years and today things were really hard. At times it's been hard to have hope. Today I had a long talk with God just expressing how I feel and asked for Him to take the pain away. Afterwards I started compiling a playlist I titled broken. I came across this song and it's just what I needed to hear and I'm sure it's His response to my prayer. "When your 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 is not falling apart it's falling into place."
lord forgive me for my sins 🙏🙏🙏
**I NEED TO DO THE SAME THING. I TRY EVERY NIGHT**
This song reminds me of a time when I was really searching and having a hard time with my life. I went to the gym and ran on the treadmill to blow off some stress and think about things. When I was leaving the gym I had an impartation of an image of Jesus walking with me in his arms, reminding me that I am not alone and he is carrying my and my burdens. Love this song as it is a good reminder.
This song was played the day my best friend came to Jesus.
Everytime I feel myself drifting away from Jesus, I listen to this song. It's the lyrics that make me realize that there is only one way to live, with God.
❤ JESUS THE MIRACLE WORKER ❤ THE FAITHFUL PROMISE TO ALL ❤
That looks like the Angel Tree! Is it? It's in Charleston, SC area. It's a Live Oak, stays green through winter, and what is really cool, is the fern growing on the limbs is called Resurrection Fern! It's looks dead, shriveled up and dried up when it hasn't rained in a while, after the rain it gets lush and green again! AMEN!
It sure looks like it
This song just really helps me get through life when I'm at my hardest
Note to you Christian's: keep strong, keep believing, dot give up you can do it
Being someone who struggles with depression this song brings me so much comfort. Thank you lord for being my safety when I have nothing else!
I've been deserted by people I thought I could trust. My confidence has hit a low. I feel like I am alone, but thankfully I have TRUE friends, family, and GOD. I'm so thankful that God holds me through all this and is always there to be my best friend forever.
Kei Tang,
I am glad you have friends and your family...Since we have free will, many on this earth have chosen a different path. God Bless you!
I am here with a broken heart after breaking up with my first love. I an really glad I turn to God instead of being hated myself.
