This song has a very different meaning to me then being a cancer survivor. The first time I heard it I was on my way to see my Dad's empty body at the hospital. My family considers me strong and in control, and this high regard empowers me to push through to the business side of me. I orchestrated the funeral plans, and it seemed like everything fell into place within a short amount of time with ease on my part. But inside I was dying. Through this song God reminded me that He was going to hold me, and carry me through my loss. I struggled everyday for the last month and it seems to never get easier. Then daily I get these little reminders that God is still holding me. It's just what I need, to be held.
I have struggled at times with my faith. I am normally a pretty strong person. But for the past 18 months or so, I have developed terrible back and hip pain and so far, surgery is where the docs are pointing. Spinal fusion that I'm not sure I could even survive. I can't eat. I weigh 96 pounds and feel weak and sick and I am losing hope. My "normal" questioning of my faith has gone into overdrive! I cry every day and ask God why I have to stay. My husband and sons are enduring all this, too and I feel guilty a lot. So, your music has helped me get through some pretty dark days. You got me through the loss of my parents, through finding out 2 of our sons are on the autism spectrum. You got me through being homeless twice in one year. You got me through so many hard times and here you are again. I thank you for ministering to me, so that I can see YOUR faith when mine is barely here at all.
Amen god is great!!! God has helped my family through ups and downs my Grandma had three kinds of cancer and got took them all the way God can move mountains and split water he can do anything God bless each and everyone of you
my story surrounding this song is a bit different. you see on 4/9/18 the Lord took my husband of 35 yr home. for 3 1/2 months before Just Be Held had literally been stalking me, meaning that I heard it all the time, and the words and music were just continually looping though my spirit. not understanding why this particular song was going though my spirit, the words just did not make sense. usually when something like this happens, I am already going though something and the song is ministering to me, NOT PREPARING ME FOR IT on April 29th my husband had surgery for a broken hip/femur, due to issues unrelated to the surgery he had a heart attack and ended up in IICU on the 30th, just before they took him to ICU I sat there praying for him telling GOD that if he chose to take him I could do nothing that it was not my call and with the song JUST BE HELD, once agin going through my brain, and spirit, ten days later the LORD took him home. for the next week when people asked me how I was doing I told them I was HOLDING ON TO JESUS WITH EVERYTHING THAT IS IN ME, then it dawned on me that HE DIDNT WANT ME TO HOLD ONTO HI BUT HE WANTED TO HOLD ME, TOTAL SURRENDER, YOU SEE I AM A CONTROL FREAK, AND HE SHOWED ME THAT I WAS HOLDING ON SO TIGHT THAT HE COULD NOT HOLD ME. since I have bought the song, and play it on a loop when I need to remind my self that if I am in control he cant hold me on my husbands obit I wrote that the same arms the hold my beloved hold me too
Mary, this is Donald Mayer. I read your reply and found it most interesting. I think this song is excellent. Yet, I also feel the song Hold On by Twila Paris is still excellent. Mary, we're in the same boat. Listen, my wife died on December 3, 2016. I've been blind since birth and turned 62 in October. I wonder if the Christmas season is particularly hard for you. If you want to talk to me, I will provide my e mail address. Mary, I would love to talk to you.

It is one of the most awesome songs ever for me. My favorite place to be when I'm down for any reason is in the arms of the Father.
soulfest 2015 was awesome
