I have some of his music and yes, just a horrible accident. They are all in my prayers.

I agree and what is worst their teenage son is the one who ran over her.

Yes Pam, they are all definitely going to be leaning on the Lord more than ever at this time.

Thank you Caru TH for giving us the info. I did not know about his until a read your topic. My heart goes out to him and his family. My own daughter loves to hear the song by Chapman, "Dancing with Cinderella."

I'll be praying for healing and comfort for their family.

yes i heard about that how sad! we must keep him in our thoughts and prayers!

I will hold him and his Family up in Prayer.

He has been in my prayers. Cannot imagine what he is going through, but I do now that God is right there with him and his family. We are all subject to the good things and bad things of the world happening to us.

Yes, this is such an awful tragedy. I always cried at his 'Cinderella' Song...thinking of my 4 y/o girl. Then, I heard the song a day or two after his Dtr's Death, and it adds a different viewpoint to the song for me, looking at it from Chapman's viewpoint. Here's the lyrics:

She spins and she sways
To whatever song plays
Without a care in the world
And I'm sitting here wearing
The weight of the world on my shoulders

It's been a long day
And there's still work to do
She's pulling at me
Saying "Dad, I need you

There's a ball at the castle
And I've been invited
And I need to practice my dancing
Oh, please, Daddy, please?"

So I will dance with Cinderella
While she is here in my arms
Cause I know something the prince never knew
Oh, I will dance with Cinderella
I don't want to miss even one song
Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight
And she'll be gone...

She says he's a nice guy and I'd be impressed
She wants to know if I approve of the dress
She says, "Dad, the prom is just one week away
And I need to practice my dancing
Oh, please, Daddy, please?"

So I will dance with Cinderella
While she is here in my arms
Cause I know something the prince never knew
Oh, I will dance with Cinderella
I don't want to miss even one song
Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight
And she'll be gone

She will be gone

Well, she came home today with a ring on her hand
Just glowing and telling us all they had planned
She says, "Dad, the wedding's still six months away
But I need to practice my dancing
Oh, please, Daddy, please?"

So I will dance with Cinderella
While she is here in my arms
Cause I know something the prince never knew
Oh, I will dance with Cinderella
I don't want to miss even one song
Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight
And she'll be gone


"Cinderella" Song Lyrics
(Performed by Steven Curtis Chapman)


**I look at it as her Prince is Jesus. And he always ends with 'And she'll be gone'...She's now gone to be with her Prince-Jesus, in Heaven.**

How sad! I will pray for them right now.
