| TAPVR is a rare heart, lung deformity in which the veins don't completely form from the lungs back to the heart and so the blood pools in the lungs with no place to go. Joshua fought a hard battle and there were times when everyone thought he was going to make it. After his death, the Drs. said it was a miracle that he had lived past birth. Thanks To God for Giving Us Our Miracle Baby for a short time. Special thanks to all the Drs. and Nurses who cared for him and all the loved received from kind strangers. |
| Song Title: Held lyrics
Two months is too little. They let him go. They had no sudden healing. To think that providence would Take a child from his mother while she prays Is appalling. 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. Chorus: This is what it means to be held. How it feels when the sacred is torn from your life And you survive. This is what it is to be loved. And to know that the promise was When everything fell we'd be held. This hand is bitterness. We want to taste it, let the hatred know our sorrow. The wise hands opens slowly to lilies of the valley and tomorrow. (Chorus) This is what it means to be held. How it feels when the sacred is torn from your life And you survive. This is what it is to be loved. And to know that the promise was When everything fell we'd be held. Bridge: If hope is born of suffering. If this is only the beginning. Can we not wait for one hour watching for our Savior? (Chorus) |
