Friends 2003

Friends 2003 - Michael W. Smith & Company

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

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

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

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

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 to live as friends

And friends are friends forever

That a lifetime's not too long

If the lord's the lord of them

And friends are friends forever

Never say never say never

In the father's hands we know

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
