Friends - Michael W Smith

Packing up the dreams God planted, in 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 forever, if 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

And with the faith and love God's given, springing from the hope we know
We will pray the joy you'll live in, is the strength that now you show

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 X2
To live as friends…
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
That a lifetime's not too long, to live as friends
