Monday's Mourning Ministry - With Hope - Steven Curtis Chapman






Monday's Mourning Ministry


With Hope


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

Thre's a place where

we'll see your face again


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 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

Thre's a place where

we'll see your face again


We'll see your face again

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,

We can say goodbye with hope,


We ache with hope

We ache with hope

We cry with hope

We let go with hope...





Thank you to Steven Curtis Chapman for his gift of song amidst his grief. May the Lord bless you and hold you as you grieve along with his broken heart over his precious daughter Maria, 2003-2008, age 5, and over your precious child as well. Much love to you all.
