With Hope

This is not at all

How we thought it was supposed to be

We had so many plans for you

We has so many dreams

But 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



And we can cry with hope

We can say good-bye with hope

'Cause we know our good-bye is not the end

And we can grieve with hope

'Cause we believe with hope

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 smile and say 'well done.'

And I imagine you

Where you wanted most to be

Seeing all your dreams come true

'Cause now your home

And now your free



Chorus



We have this hope as an anchor

'Cause we believe that everything

God promised us is true



Chorus



We wait with hope

And we ache with hope

We hold on with hope

We let go with hope
