With Hope

1. 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.

[Chorus:]
But we can cry with hope we can say goodbye with hope
Cause we know that our goodbye 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.

2. And never have I know 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.

[Chorus:]
But we can cry with hope we can say goodbye with hope
Cause we know that our goodbye 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.

[Bridge:]
Say goodbye
We have this hope as an anchor
Cause we believe that everything
God promised us is true.

[Chorus:]
So we can cry with hope we can say goodbye with hope
Cause we know that our goodbye 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.
