Lyrics
A chapter done
Turn the page
And separate roads
Lead separate ways
But as we go, we're not alone
No, we're not alone
Because faith and hope and love
Are waiting for you when we say goodbye
Where would we be without the Faith
Where would we be without the Hope
Where would we be without the Faith
The one that God alone has made
Because faith and hope and love
Are waiting for you when we say
Faith, hope and love
Are waiting for you when we say goodbye
Where would we be without the Faith
Where would we ve without the Hope
Where would we be without the Faith
The one that God alone has made
Because faith, hope and love
Are waiting for you when we say
Faith, hope and love
Are waiting for you when we say goodbye
Yea, though I walk
Down in the valley of the shadow of darkness
I will not fear
I will fear no evil
Because faith, hope and love
Are waiting for you when we say
Faith, hope and love
Are waiting for you when we say goodbye
Because faith and hope and love
Are waiting for you when we say goodbye
Faith and hope and love
Waiting for you when
We'll be praying until then
Waiting for you when we say goodbye

Meaning & Inspiration
Faith, Hope and Love treats farewell as separation without abandonment. Roads divide and a chapter closes, yet the lyric answers uncertainty with three enduring Christian virtues. Faith, hope, and love become signs that God remains active beyond the goodbye, while the promise of prayer gives the parting a continuing bond. The song therefore holds grief and reassurance together instead of denying the pain of departure.
Its central refrain clearly recalls the closing words of 1 Corinthians 13, where faith, hope, and love remain and love is named greatest. The later valley imagery also echoes Psalm 23, placing fear within confidence in God’s presence. By joining those passages, the lyric presents farewell as an occasion for trust: darkness may accompany the road ahead, but divine care is not absent. The result is a gentle blessing for someone leaving, grounded in prayer and steadfast hope.
