My heart grieves for Steven Curtis Chapman and his family tonight with the news of the accidental death of their 5 year old daughter, Maria. There’s more to the story here.
Pray for the grace and mercy of the Father to rain down on them in their time of dispair and distress.
With Hope by Steven Curtis Chapman
This is not at all
How we thought it was suppose 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 will cry with hope
We can say good-bye with hope
‘Cause we know our good-bye is not the end
And we will 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
We have this hope as an anchor
‘Cause we believe that everything
God promises us is true
We wait with hope
And we ache with hope
We hold on with hope
We let go with hope
