"Friends"
Music: Michael W. Smith
Packing up the dreams
God plantedIn 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
CHORUS:
And friends are friends foreverIf 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 inIs the strength that now you show
But we'll keep you close as alwaysIt won't even seem you've gone
'Cause our hearts in big and small ways
Will keep the love that keeps us strong
CHORUS
REPEAT CHORUS
