1 Thess. 4:13-14; Heb. 6:9, 10:23
That 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
We can cry with hope
We can say goodbye with hope
‘Cause we know our goodbye is not the end
We can grieve with hope
Because we believe with hope
There’s a place where we’ll see your face again
We’ll see your face again
Never have I known
Anything so hard to understand
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 you’re home and now you’re free
We can cry with hope
We can say goodbye with hope
‘Cause we know our goodbye is not the end
We can grieve with hope
Because 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 like an anchor
‘Cause we believe that everything
God promised us is true
We can cry with hope
We can say goodbye with hope
‘Cause we know our goodbye is not the end
We can grieve with hope
Because we believe with hope
There’s a place
By God’s grace
There’s a place where we’ll see your face again

Remember Me
Remember Me
In a Bible cracked and faded by the years.
Remember Me
In a sanctuary filled with silent prayer
And age to age
And heart to heart,
Bound by grace and peace.
Child of wonder,
Child of God,
I’ve remembered you,
Remember Me.
Remember Me
When the color of the sunset fills the sky
Remember Me
When you pray and tears fall from your eyes.
And age to age
And heart to heart,
Bound by grace and peace.
Child of wonder
Child of God,
I’ve remembered you,
Remember Me
Remember Me
When the children leave their Sunday school with smiles
Remember Me
When they’re old enough to teach,
Old enough to preach
Old enough to leave.
And age to age
And heart to heart
Bound by grace and peace
Child of wonder,
Child of God,
I’ve remembered you,
Remember Me.
Age to age
And heart to heart
Child of wonder
Child of God
Remember Me.

A visitor from heaven
If only for a while
A gift of love to be returned
We think of you and smile.
A visitor from heaven
Accompanied by grace
Reminding of a better love
And of a better place
With aching hearts and empty arms
We send you with a name
It hurts so much to let you go
But we’re so glad you came
We’re so glad you came
A visitor from heaven
If only for a day
We thank Him for the time He gave
And now it’s time to say
We trust you to the Father’s love
And to His tender care
Held in everlasting arms
And we’re so glad you’re there
With breaking hearts and open hands
We send you with a name
It hurts so much to let you go
But we’re so glad you came
We’re so glad you came
