🌊 Volume 2 – Track 9: “Held Without Effort” Lyrics Verse 1 I used to think I had to try To keep it all from falling by Every step, every breath Like I could earn what’s left But something deeper met me here Where I release all that I fear And I don’t have to understand To be held in Your hand Pre-Chorus It’s not what I can do It’s simply being held by You Chorus I am held without effort Not by strength, not by fight I am held without effort In the center of Your light I don’t carry what I was I don’t strive for what I’m not I am held without effort Verse 2 Even when I drift and sway You don’t move away There is nothing I can lose That could ever change the truth You are steady, You remain Through the joy and through the pain And I finally see it clear You are already here Pre-Chorus It’s not what I can do It’s simply being held by You Chorus I am held without effort Not by strength, not by fight I am held without effort In the center of Your light I don’t carry what I was I don’t strive for what I’m not I am held without effort Bridge I release what I can’t keep There is rest too deep For my hands to even reach You are peace Final Chorus I am held without effort Nothing left to prove or earn I am held without effort And my heart begins to learn I am safe where I belong In a love that’s always strong I am held without effort
