While You Were Holding Me

Bb
While you were holding me
You were praying prayers that only 
      Eb
mamas do
      Bb
While you were holding me
You were fighting battles your 
              Eb
babies never knew
       Eb                          
And I never knew 'til now just how 
  F
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
Continues after the ad
       Gm F    Eb
He was holding you
                       Bb
While you were holding me


[Verse 2]
Bb
While you were holding me
You were showing what it means to 
         Eb
live by faith
        Bb
And you taught me to believe
There is hope even in the deepest 
 Eb
pain
            F
I remember every day

Chorus - Hold last note 2 measures 
heading to bridge

[Bridge]
         Gm           F      Bb  
Oh, you spent so many hours, down
           Eb
 upon your knees
        Gm              F     
Shaking on the gates of heaven, 
          Bb              Eb
calling angels down for me
       Gm          F            
So selflessly you gave, made me 
Bb         Eb
who I am today
      Cm                           
And I never knew 'til now, just how 
F
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
