Tom: Bb
Bb
While you were holding me
Eb
You were praying prayers that only mamas do
Bb
While you were holding me
Eb
You were fighting battles your babies never knew
Eb F
And I never knew 'til now just how strong you were
Eb F
Drying all my tears while fighting yours
[Chorus]
Bb
All that darkness you lived through
F
Couldn't dim the light inside of you
Gm
All the broken pieces
Eb
You kept giving them to Jesus
Bb
And He gave you strength to raise me up
F
Knowing one day I would see
Gm F Eb
He was holding you
Bb
While you were holding me
[Verse 2]
Bb
While you were holding me
Eb
You were showing what it means to live by faith
Bb
And you taught me to believe
Eb
There is hope even in the deepest pain
F
I remember every day
Chorus - Hold last note 2 measures heading to bridge
[Bridge]
Gm F Bb Eb
Oh, you spent so many hours, down upon your knees
Gm F Bb Eb
Shaking on the gates of heaven, calling angels down for me
Gm F Bb Eb
So selflessly you gave, made me who I am today
Cm F
And I never knew 'til now, just how strong you were
[Chorus]
Bb
All that darkness you lived through
F
Couldn't dim the light inside of you
Gm
All the broken pieces
Eb
You kept giving them to Jesus
Bb
And He gave you strength to raise me up
F
Knowing one day I would see
Gm F Eb
He was holding you
Gm F Eb
He was holding you
Bb
While you were holding me
