Just Be Held

"In memory of Rachelle Archer Sanford..."

When the grief

In your heart

Is tearing your world

And you apart…

Just be held

Just be held

By your FATHER

When the loss

Is too great

And you are

About to break…

Just be held

Just be held

When the tears

Won’t run dry

And you ask

A million times ‘why’?

Just be held

Just be held

In the arms of Jesus

When the sorrow

Empties you out

And you want to

Scream or shout…

Just be held

Just be held

When it hurts

To even breathe

And your heart is broken

With the loss and grief…

Just be held

Just be held

In the Comforter’s peace

When you cannot

Cope or bear the pain

He will meet you

Just the same…

Just be held

Just be held

When the depths

Of your soul is plumbed

And you have come

Completely undone…

Just be held

Just be held

And comforted by Jesus

When the darkness

Swallows you whole

And you have

No place to run or go…

Just be held

Just be held

When the pain is more

Then you can bear

And it seems like

The Father doesn’t care…

Just be held

Just be held

In the arms of Jesus

Just be held

"She loved fiercely and held those she loved in her heart..".

"Now we will hold your loved ones close for you dear Rachelle..."

(For my friend and sister of my heart: Kathie Archer as she grieves the loss of her beloved daughter Rachelle Archer Sanford on January 13, 2025. And for all of her family and friends who loved and will miss her. Just be held in God’s Arms as He comforts you in your grief.)
