With Hope

This song was written by Steven Curtis Chapman after a very good friend of their family lost their daughter in a tragic car accident. It's a beautiful song and goes along with the scripture I quoted in my previous post. As believers in Christ, we do have the hope that we will see the faces of the ones we've lost again one day.

This is not at all
How we thought it was supposed to be
We had so many plans for you
We had so many dreams
And now you've gone away
And left us with the memories of your smile
And nothing we can say
And nothing we can do
Can take away the pain
The pain of losing you
We can cry with hope
We can say goodbye with hope
'Cause we know our goodbye is not the end
We can grieve with hope
'Cause we believe with hope
There's a place where we'll see your face again
Never have I known
Anything so hard to understand
Never have I questioned more
The wisdom of God's plan
But through the cloud of tears
I see the Father smile and say "well done"
And I imagine you
Where you wanted most to be
Seeing all your dreams come true
'Cause now you're home and now you're free
We can cry with hope
We can say goodbye with hope
'Cause we know our goodbye is not the end
We can grieve with hope
'Cause we believe with hope
There's a place where we'll see your face again
We have this hope as an anchor
'Cause we believe that everything
God promised us is true
So we can cry with hope
We can say goodbye with hope
'Cause we know our goodbye is not the end
We can grieve with hope
'Cause we believe with hope
There's a place
By God's grace
There's a place where we'll see your face again
