This week’s featured song story comes to us from Jasmine Murray. We’re excited to share with you the story behind her single “While You Were Holding Me.”
“‘While You Were Holding Me’ is a song that I wrote about my mom. I grew up in a single parent home, so this song is pretty much a tribute to her for just her strength and her courageous faith. Growing up in that environment, I saw my mom in a lot of different lights. I saw her go through amazing times and tough times.I think it’s just incredible how she was able to go through all of those challenges but still take care of the responsibilities that were in front of her and to go through the adversity that she went through and beat it. The real takeaway that I want people to be able to grasp from this song is that No matter what it is you’re going through, whatever the struggle is, maybe you are a single mom, but to know that nothing is impossible.” – Jasmine Murray

“While You Were Holding Me” Lyrics
VERSE
While you were holding me
You were fighting battles I didn’t know about
While you were holding me
Somebody else was letting you down
And I never knew ‘til now
Just how strong you were
Drying all my tears
While fighting yours
CHORUS
All that darkness you lived through
Couldn’t dim that light inside of you
All the broken pieces
You kept giving them to Jesus
And he gave you strength raise me up
Knowing one day I would see
He was holding you
While you were holding me
VERSE
While you were holding me
You were showing what it means to live by faith
And you taught me to believe
That there is hope even in the deepest pain
I remember every day
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Oh, you spent so many hours
Down upon your knees
Shaking on the gates of heaven
Calling angels down for me
So selflessly you gave
Made me who I am today
And I never knew ‘til now
Just how strong you were
CHORUS
