With Hope

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
