Friends
Packing up the dreams of God planted
But we'll keep you close as always
(CHORUS)
And friends are friends forever
With the faith and love God's given
But we'll keep you close as always
(CHORUS)

words and music by Deborah D. Smith and Michael W. Smith
In the fertile soil of you
Can't believe the hopes He's granted
Means a chapter in your life is through
It won't even seem you've gone
Cause our hearts in big and small ways
Will keep the love that keeps us strong
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.
Springing from the hope we know
We will pray the joy you'll live in
Is the strength that now you show
It won't even seem you've gone
Cause our hearts in big and small ways
Will keep the love that keeps us strong
