With Hope - Steven Curtis Chapman

For everyone who has experienced the death of a loved one who knew and loved the Lord, here is a song of comfort, reminding us of God's constant grace and the hope of the heaven that is to come.

But let us remember that grace is extended only to those who have surrendered all and trusted upon Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, as the substitute for sin, for we are hopeless apart from Him, receiving just punishment as sin is due. (Romans 3:23, 5:8, 10:9-10, 8:1)

Based on 1 Thess. 4:13-14 and Heb. 6:9, 10:23

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 by God's grace)
There's a place where we'll see your 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 have this hope as an anchor
'Cause we believe that everything
God promised us is true, so ...

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