Am                    F                      C  Dm
Hold it all together, everybody needs you strong
          Am
But life hits you out of nowhere and
 F                        C  G
barely leaves you holding on.
                 Am       F
And when you're tired of fighting.
  C                 Dm
Chained by your control.
         Am            F
There's freedom in surrender.
         C              G
Lay it down and let it go.

Chorus:
               C                                  G
So when you're on your knees and answers seem so far
away
            Am                                 F
You're not alone, stop holding on and just be held
      C                                    G
Your worlds not falling apart, its falling into
place
             Am                                 F
I'm on the throne, stop holding on and just be held
        Am F C Dm
Just be held
        Am F C Dm
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

Chorus

           F               C              G
Lift your hands, lift your eyes, in the storm
                 Am
is where you'll find Me
              F                    C
And where you are, I'll hold your heart,
            G
I'll hold your heart
         F             C
Come to Me, find your rest,
       G            Am                F
In the arms of the God who won't let go

Chorus:
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,
its falling into place
I'm on the throne, stop holding on and just be held
(Stop holding on)
Just be held, just be held
Just be held, just be held....
