Miles, my first born, was born March 29,1991 with (unknown to us at the time) a fatal heart defect. He came home from the hospital with me but a few days later was taken to the hospital (then children's hospital) where we were told of his heart defect-hypoplastic left heart syndrome and it was untreatable. Miles died in my arms at the tender age of 5 1/2 days old on April 4, 1991. I still struggle to this day with his death. The first time I listened to Held I cried for a long time. These tears were and are healing tears. This song expresses so many feelings that I have. I am greatful for this song. I can so closely identify with it. I wished everyone would listen to Held just once and they will be changed. Genius | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/23/06 To Whomever wrote the lyrics to this song - genius! So many will find comfort in them. We hold so many illusions of what is sacred in our lives, what we consider to be untouchable. We think we are safe, that something so devastated wouldn't happen in our lives. Those things only happen to someone else. And then, it touches our life. I too "lost" a child, my first son, to his own perversion, (not death.) I "lost" his child, my granddaughter, to her father's sin. As a consequence of my son's actions, I now wake every morning as the mother of a child molester, the grandmother of a molested child. Who told us we’d be rescued? What has changed and why should we be saved from nightmares? We’re asking why this happens To us who have died to live? It’s unfair. Something so tender, so sacred, was so brutally torn from our lives. And I was forced to find a way to survive it. Something I could never imagine happening in our family. And yet, it did. My second son, an honors student and brilliant musician, was nearly killed in an accident. My son's life, something so sacred, was shattered, torn from our lives. The months of rehabilitation it has taken for him to be restored has also shattered us. And yet, we are forced to survive it. To think that providence would Take a child from his mother while she prays Is appalling. I once was employed in my professional field, my career. I considered my career sacred, something I did as an act of worship unto God. Yet it too was torn from my life, and I was forced to survive it. This hand is bitterness. We want to taste it, let the hatred NUMB our sorrow. I have begun to realize that ANYTHING I consider sacred will continue to be torn from my life until I realize that there is NOTHING Satan in all his evil will not touch. Nothing is sacred to pure evil. There is only one untouchable: your faith. If you don't question everything you have ever believed after a series of events like these, you're brain-dead. Can we not wait for one hour watching for our Savior?And, after turning your faith inside out, you don't come out feeling held, knowing God alone got you through, you have never truly believed. When everything fell I was held. There is only one truly sacred thing: God himself. Only He cannot be torn from your life. Over the past year, I have spent long hours grieving so many losses, so angry at the unfairness of it all. And yet I know, after the long dark night of the soul is past, I must be prepared to re-embrace the dawn. The wise hands opens slowly to lilies of the valley and tomorrow. I am opening slowly to the lilies, and to tomorrow. This is what it means to be held. And to know that the promise was WHEN everything fell, we’d be held. My little girl | Reviewer: Lindsey | 1/30/06 I had my little girl on December 21, 2005 and lost her on December 24, 2005. I am only nineteen and that was my first child. No one told me the signs of premature labor, and when I told my mom the signs I was having I went to the hospital believing they could help me. I was wrong. I had my little girl three and a half months early, in perfect health except for the fact that she had been born too early. Her lungs were not developed fully, and there were other things that would have been no problem for her if she had been born on time. There was nothing the doctors, or anyone else for that matter, could do to save her. While preparing the for the funeral the staff at the funeral home had me listen to this song. Even though it is a boy in the song, I cry everytime I hear it. I will never know why I lost my daughter the way I did, but I am so greatful that I have people there for me, and songs like this one to help me through this hard time. Touches my heart in so many ways | Reviewer: Jessica Light | 2/1/06 After many years on infertilty, we got pregnant with twin boys. One of my twins died in my arms because he was born too early and only lived for 2 1/2 hours. They gave the other twin less than 3% chance of not being delivered. By a complete miracle, I carried him almost 6 more weeks. I was so mad, angry, alone, and hurt that my God would take one of my children after all we had already been through. This song showed me that I wasn't alone, but being held the entire time. Afterall, my babies are His children.

Held is appropriate song for grief | Reviewer: Robin, Georgia | 1/23/06 My sister's friend lost her little 5 year old girl last week. They were getting out for school and she was hit by a car in the crosswalk while her mother, a pediatrician, watched. She held her baby while waiting for the ambulance as school children and parents watched. I can't imagine the torment and heartwrenching grief. I thought the next day after hearing about this, about this song, not knowing if she's heard it. I plan to print the lyrics out and send them to her. I hope they can give her some comfort. Please pray for her. Her little 3 year old sister keeps asking why she hasn't come home. Being Truly Held | Reviewer: Erik Jensen | 1/12/06 Well I'm just a 14 year old boy. I've gone through my pain and suffering in life, yet, whenever I think about what has happened to others and what blessings I truly have, I am comforted yet destroyed, I have been blessed with amaizing things in my life, but some days...I just wish I would be me that these events were happening to. I just think that having this true perspective of reality is such a help in my walk of faith. I feel I am being held. Never Tire Of Hearing Held | Reviewer: Debby Toth | 10/20/05 I was first introduced to this song by my 11-year old son who would loudly sing the chorus in his pre-pubescent, high-pitch, off-key rendition. He rarely sings anything...so it must have been good. One day he made me wait before getting out of the car because it had just come on the radio. I was drawn by the beauty of the song but was later blown away when I was able to listen again and actually hear what Natalie's song was saying. None of us as believers escapes from life without experiencing the sacred being torn from our lives in one form or another--and we survive. Yet we can go on because we are held and we can hold our hands open to lilies of the valley and tomorrow. God is good. Awesome | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/19/05 This song is SO awesome. I lost my little brother and this song expresses so many emotions you feel when you go thru something like this. HITS HOME | Reviewer: ROSE MORVANT | 6/29/05 We just recently lost our only son and child. The words to this song express our feelings exactly. Though the pain is unreal and so unfair your song reminds us that God didn't promise we would never hurt but that He would hold us. Great song! God bless you!
