Lyrics
While you were holding me
You were praying prayers that only mamas do
While you were holding me
You were fighting battles your babies never knew
And I never knew 'til now just how strong you were
Drying all my tears while fighting yours
Chorus:
All that darkness you lived through
Couldn’t dim the light inside of you
All the broken pieces
You kept giving them to Jesus
And He gave you strength to raise me up
Knowing one day I would see
He was holding you
While you were holding me
While you were holding me
You were showing what it means to live by faith
And you taught me to believe
There is hope even in the deepest pain
I remember every day
All that darkness you lived through
Couldn't dim the light inside of you
All the broken pieces
You kept giving them to Jesus
And He gave you strength to raise me up
Knowing one day I would see
He was holding you
While you were holding me
Oh, you spent so many hours, down upon your knees
Shaking on the gates of heaven, calling angels down for me
So selflessly you gave, made me who I am today
And I never knew 'til now, just how strong you were
All that darkness you lived through
Couldn’t dim the light inside of you
All the broken pieces
You kept giving them to Jesus
And He gave you strength to raise me up
Knowing one day I would see
He was holding you
He was holding you
While you were holding me
You were holding me
