Cover art for Hold On lyrics by Sarah McLachlan

This is one of my favorites of Sarah's, especially the live version. "Oh God - if You're out there, won't You hear me? I know that we never talked before Oh, God - the man I love is leaving Won't You take him when He comes to Your door?" Possibly the best snippet of any song I have ever heard. This is one of Sarah's most emotional, most bittersweet songs. Ever. Lumierdenuit's commet hit the nail on the head: praying for a loved one's soul to be admitted to heaven's gates.

This song always makes me cry. And I agree, the live version from Mirrorball gives me some special kinds of shivers. Especially the final chorus where she sings the descant.
