Packing up the dreams God planted
In the fertile soil of you
I can't believe the hope He's granted
Means a chapter in your life is through
Bridge:
But we'll keep you close as always
It won't even seem you've gone
'Cause our hearts (hearts) in big and small ways (hearts)
Will keep the love (strong) that keeps us strong (strong)
Chorus:
And friends are friends forever (forever friends)
If the Lord's the Lord of them
And a friend will not say never (forever friends)
'Cause the welcome will not end
Though it's hard to let you go (to let you go)
In the Father's hand we know (His hand we know)
That a lifetime's not too long (to live)
To live as friends
Friends
With the faith and love God's given (God has given)
Springing from the hope we know (from the hope we know)
We will pray the joy you'll live in (forever friends)
Is the strength that now you show (forever friends)
Repeat Bridge
Repeat Chorus (x2)
No a lifetime's not to long
To live as friends (as friends)
We live as friends
To live as friends
In the fertile soil of you
I can't believe the hope He's granted
Means a chapter in your life is through
Bridge:
But we'll keep you close as always
It won't even seem you've gone
'Cause our hearts (hearts) in big and small ways (hearts)
Will keep the love (strong) that keeps us strong (strong)
Chorus:
And friends are friends forever (forever friends)
If the Lord's the Lord of them
And a friend will not say never (forever friends)
'Cause the welcome will not end
Though it's hard to let you go (to let you go)
In the Father's hand we know (His hand we know)
That a lifetime's not too long (to live)
To live as friends
Friends
With the faith and love God's given (God has given)
Springing from the hope we know (from the hope we know)
We will pray the joy you'll live in (forever friends)
Is the strength that now you show (forever friends)
Repeat Bridge
Repeat Chorus (x2)
No a lifetime's not to long
To live as friends (as friends)
We live as friends
To live as friends
