With Hope
okay this song is too sweet to miss! the more i listen to it, the more i stare at the lyrics....just proves that we have a great God. to give us hope in dark times. & which person has never had dark times before?
i remember this song wasn't very significant to me last time. till recently, when it caught my eye again. so yea, its really good now. steven curtis chapman's songs never fail to amaze me! :) :) :) although sometimes his lyrics hardly rhyme, its still really lovely. after you listen to it a few times haha.
background info: this was meant for a friend of the chapman family who lost their child or something like that. & hmm God has great plans eh. now its so relevant for them. hahaa if you don't know what happened to them a few days before our chinese Os, then http://chapmanchannel.typepad.com/inmemoryofmaria/ :) hmm, really sad. must pray for them eh. she was such a sweet girl i can tell!
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 …
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
uhmmm, if you want the song you can ask me for it! haha :D
thought: i have such an EXPENSIVE name. indeed worthy hehehehee xD
