Packing up the dreams God's planted
|
in the fertile soil of you
|
Can't believe the hopes He's granted
|
means a chapter in our lives 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
|
|
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 will 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
|
|
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 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
