Friends Lyrics

Packing up the dreams God planted
In the fertile soil of you
I can't believe the hopes He's granted
Means a chapter in your life is throughBut 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 strongAnd friends are friends forever
If the Lord's the Lord of them
And a friend will not say never
'Cause the welcome will not endThough 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, to live as friendsWith 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 showBut 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 strongAnd friends are friends forever
If the Lord's the Lord of them
And a friend will not say never
'Cause the welcome will not endThough it's hard to let you go
In the Father's hands we know
That a lifetime's not too long
To live asAnd friends are friends forever
If the Lord's the Lord of them
And a friend will not say never
'Cause the welcome will not endThough 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, to live as friendsThat a lifetime's not too long
To live as friends, to live as friends, to live as friends
