With Hope Songtext
von Steven Curtis Chapman

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

But we can cry with hope
We can say goodbye with hope
'Cause we know our goodbye
Is not the end, oh no

And we can grieve with hope
′Cause we believe with hope
There's a place where we'll see you face, again
We′ll see your face again


And never have I known
Anything so hard to understand
And never have I questioned more
The wisdom of God′s plan

But through the cloud of tears
I see the father's 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

And we can cry with hope
We can say goodbye with hope
'Cause we know our goodbye
Is not the end, oh no

And we can grieve with hope
′Cause we believe with hope
There's a place where we'll see you face, again
We′ll see your face again, yeah
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, oh no

And 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
We'll see your face again

So we can cry with hope
And say goodbye with hope

We wait with hope
And we ache with hope
We hold on with hope
We let go with hope
