With Hope

Gary Haynes and Willie
This is not at all 
How we thought it was suppose to be
We had so many plans for you
We had 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

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

We have this hope as an anchor
'Cause we believe that everything
God promises us is true

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

We wait with hope
And we ache with hope
We hold on with hope
We let go with hope

 Friends

 Packing up the dreams God planted
 In the fertile soil of you
 Can't believe the hopes he's granted
 Means a chapter in your life is through
 But we'll keep you close as always
 It won't even seem you've gone
'Cause our hearts in big and small ways
 Will keep the love that keeps us strong


 And friends are friends forever 
 If the Lord's the Lord of them
 And a friend will not say "Never"
'Cause the welcome will not end
 Though it's hard to let you go
 In the Father's hands we know
 That a lifetime's not too long
 To live as friends

 With the faith and love God's given
 Springing from the hope we know
 We will pray the joy you'll live in
 Is the strength that now you show
 But we'll keep you close as always
 It won't even seem you've gone
'Cause our hearts in big and small ways
 Will keep the love that keeps us strong
