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
keep s 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.
Oh, 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 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
We'll keep the love that keep
s 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 nev er,
Cause the welcome will not
en d.
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.
To live this way
