I learned this song from "Held Chords (ver 3)"  I changed a few chords and the placement 
a few others to fit the song a little better.

Notice: I am not claiming to have written this entire tab by ear. "WingmanCO" 
sumbitted this, I simply changed it a little.

Intro: D G Em A(light and flowing)

Verse

G              A
Two months is too little
D               Em
They let him go, they had no
G        A
Sudden healing
G             A
To think that providence would
D                   Em              G
Take a child from his mother while she prays
     A        A
Is appalling

G              A
Who told us we'd be rescued
D               Em                    G
What has changed and why should we be saved
     A
From nightmares
G              A
We're asking why this happens
D        Em              G
To us, who have died to live
       A
It's unfair

Chorus:

A                D          Em           G
This is what it means to be held, how it feels
         A         D              Em
When the sacred is torn from your life
     G
And you survive
A               D        Em            G
This is what it is to be loved, and to know
         A                 D          Em
That the promise was when everything fell
G         A    A
We'd be held

G              A
This hand is bitterness
D                  Em                G
We want to taste it, let the hatred numb
     A
Our sorrow
G              A
The wise hand opens slowly
D          Em            G
To lillies of the valley and
     A
Tomorrow

Chorus:

A                D          Em           G
This is what it means to be held, how it feels
         A         D              Em
When the sacred is torn from your life
     G
And you survive
A               D        Em            G
This is what it is to be loved, and to know
         A                 D          Em
That the promise was when everything fell
G         A    A
We'd be held


Chorus(change of key)


Bridge
Am         F      G
If hope is born of suffering
Am         F    G
If this is only the beginning
Am                      F
Can we not wait for one hour
         Am        F
Watching for our Savior


F               C            G            Am
This is what it means to be held, how it feels
         F         C              G
When the sacred is torn from your life
Am
And you survive
F               C        G             Am
This is what it is to be loved, and to know
         F                 C          G
That the promise was when everything fell
Am       G or F
We'd be held
