The song "Held" speaks of a mother whose baby dies. In this instance, God does not prevent the tragedy, but He is with this grieving mother and holds her while she goes through this trial.

I never thought when I first heard this song that I would be living inside of it. We lost our only son, 27, to an avalanche here in Alaska April 2009. I do not know how I would survive this horrific trial without being "Held". This is the song I chose to play during the video tribute we made for Jordan's memorial service. It still brings me to tears every time I listen to it - it's a powerful song, though...full of healing & worship. Thank you, Natalie.

I think I had "heard" this song on the radio many times before I actually stopped to listen to what was actually being sung. It is a song about the loss of innocent life--long before it's time--and yet finding some hope in that God is still in control of everything. What I like is that Natalie dared to sing about something that happens to many people and is very painful. As Christians, we do often wonder why God lets suffering exist in this world. While there is not an easy answer to that question, it is clear that God remains a source of hope.

My 19 year old son was very ill and I knew he would be leaving us soon. I prayed to GOD to give me the right song to play during his service. Two days later I got up several hrs before anyone and turned on my christian radio station. This song came on immediately. I cried and knew GOD had heard my prayer. I knew I couldn't keep my Tyler here with us but GOD was going to hold me through this terrible loss. My son died that week and this was our song. I continue to play it on a regular basis as I need to know that I am continually being HELD or I don't know how I would get through it.

This song really speaks to me. I love the message and the feeling that it gives me. It makes me feel like God is holding me right then and there!

I believe this is Natalie Grant's best CD to date. It's worth owning if for no other reason to hear the song "Held". Very powerful lyrics.
