~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 always 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 me strong. And friends are friends forever If the Lord's the Lord of them And a friends 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 to 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 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.
