With Hope (Speechless Album Version) Lyrics


This is not at all
How we thought it was supposed to be
We had so many plans for you
We had so many dreamsAnd 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 youBut we can cry with hope
We can say goodbye with hope
'Cause we know our goodbye
Is not the end, oh noAnd we can grieve with hope
'Cause we believe with hope
There's a place where we'll see you face, again
We'll see your face againAnd never have I known
Anything so hard to understand
And never have I questioned more
The wisdom of God's planBut 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 freeAnd we can cry with hope
We can say goodbye with hope
'Cause we know our goodbye
Is not the end, oh noAnd we can grieve with hope
'Cause we believe with hope
There's a place where we'll see you face, again
We'll see your face again, yeah
We'll see your face againWe have this hope as an anchor
'Cause we believe that everything
God promised us is trueSo we can cry with hope
We can say goodbye with hope
'Cause we know our goodbye
Is not the end, oh noAnd 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 againSo we can cry with hope
And say goodbye with hopeWe wait with hope
And we ache with hope
We hold on with hope
We let go with hope

Steven Curtis Chapman (born November 21, 1962 in Paducah, Kentucky) is one of the most influential singer/songwriters in contemporary Christian music. He was first signed on to a songwriting deal in the early 1980s, based upon the strength of his song "Built To Last" which was recorded by popular gospel group The Imperials. Shortly after, he signed a record deal with Sparrow Records, where he rose to prominence.

He and his wife Mary Beth have three biological children, (Emily Elizabeth, Caleb Stevenson, Will Franklin) and they adopted three Chinese girls (Shaohannah Hope Yan, Stevey Joy Ru, Maria Sue Chapman). They are also recognized advocates for adoption. Together, they founded Shaohannah's Hope, a charity organization which offers grants to qualifying families to help defray the cost of adopting, at home and abroad. Both were awarded the Angels of Adoption award by a Congressional Committee for adoption in Washington, D.C.

Chapman's five-year-old daughter, Maria Sue Chunxi Chapman, was killed in a tragic accident on May 21, 2008.[7] Maria was accidentally hit by her older brother Will, driving a Toyota Land Cruiser pulling into the driveway of their home in Franklin, Tennessee after coming home from a play audition, according to Tennessee Department of Safety spokesman Mike Browning. Maria was pronounced dead upon arrival to the hospital.

The entire family was preparing to celebrate their eldest son Caleb's graduation from high school and their daughter's engagement just hours before the accident. A spokesman for the Tennessee Highway Patrol termed it "a terrible accident," and no charges were filed.

Maria was the youngest in the family, and one of three daughters adopted from China by Steven and his wife, Mary Beth.[8] During the memorial service for Maria, in which Pastor Scotty Smith preached, the family expressed their faith in God and their love for each other.[9][10]

In the aftermath of the tragedy, the Chapman family began to speak publicly about their loss and the role that faith played in it all. They appeared on Good Morning America, Larry King Live and in People magazine.[11][12] Maria was buried in her flower girl dress as she along with Stevie Joy was going to be a Flower Girl in Emily's wedding in October.

The Do Everything Songfacts states that three years later the Christian singer-songwriter released re:creation, a collection of fresh versions of some of his most memorable tunes from the past plus six new songs. The record was an opportunity to communicate that he and his family believe God is recreating many wonderful things in their lives after their tragic loss.

Chapman and his sons recorded under the name of "Stevenson" for the 2003 Veggie Rocks CD. (Song: "I Love My Lips," VeggieTales). Chapman starred in the 2003 film Christmas Child.
