Just caught this on Fox. He has a hit song out about dancing with his little girl. He's one of my favorite singers - did the song for The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe. Please pray for this wonderful family.

Heavenly Father, wrap this family in the Mantle of Your Love, for only You can reach the depths of the agony of their souls. Have mercy, Lord ... have mercy, in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ ... Amen ...

I can’t even imagine. Isn’t she adopted? I know that’s a big ministry for Stephen. Prayers for the whole family.

The little girl died of her injuries.

This family needs prayers indeed.

So awful. I pray for them, and for their son. Now he will really learn about Grace and unconditional love. May God hold them tight in their time of need.

When I heard about the accident I literally cried for his family, especially for his teen son. OMG, what a terrible tragedy! His Declaration CD, is one of my favorite. Prayers for the whole Chapman family.

What an awful way to headline this.

Here are links to his site if anyone wants to post condolences, plus a video of him singing about his adoption experiences.

Prayers for Steven Curtis Chapman and his family, especially his son. SCC is a great witness for Christ through his contemporary Christian music and his family’s burden for providing a loving Christian home for these children.

My Favorite SCC song, “Not Home Yet.” Prayers for his daughter is now home.

(Steven Curtis Chapman)

To all the travelers
Pilgrims longing for a home
From one who walks with you
On this journey called life’s road
It is a long and winding road

From one who’s seen the view
And dreamt of staying on the mountains high
And one who’s cried like you
Wanting so much just to lay down and die
I offer this, we must remember this

We are not home yet
We are not home yet
Keep on looking ahead
Let your heart not forget
We are not home yet
Not home yet

So close your eyes with me
And hear the Father saying, “welcome home”
Let us find the strength
In all His promises to carry on
He said, “I go prepare a place for you”
So let us not forget

We are not home yet
We are not home yet
Keep on looking ahead
Let your heart not forget
We are not home yet
We are not home yet
Keep on looking ahead
Let your heart not forget
We are not home yet

I know there’ll be a moment
I know there’ll be a place
Where we will see our Saviour
And fall in His embrace
So let us not grow weary
Or too content to stay
‘Cause we are not home yet
We are not home yet
Not home yet
So let us journey on

We are not home yet
We are not home yet
Keep on looking ahead
Let your heart not forget
We are not home yet
Not home yet

I am just stunned to hear of this tragedy, and I'm praying for the whole family at this sad time. :*(

I've loved his music since the 80s--if you aren't familiar with it, go to youtube and do a search for his songs--a very wonderful Christian warrior for God through his music and lyrics!! I was fortunate to see him in concert years ago when "The Great Adventure" came out, and a few times after that when the radio station here in Dallas (KLTY Christian radio) had free 4th of July celebrations and concerts at Southfork Ranch...the main song my husband and I used at our wedding was his "I Will Be Here", still brings a tear to my eyes after all these years. :*)

I am so sorry for his family's loss, so many prayers going out for all of them right now. May God give them the strength to get through their sorrow over losing this poor little girl so early in her life.
