1Thess. 4:13-14 / 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
|
