Friends Lyrics

	


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

 CHORUS:
 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

 CHORUS

 REPEAT CHORUS

This is my absolute favorite. When my best friend had to move I gave her the lyrics to this song to remember me by.

This song brings tears to my eyes. My good friend was only 15, and she passed away in a car accident. Me and a couple of her friends sang this song at her funeral. We could totally relate to it. "But we'll keep you close as always, It won't even seem you've gone".

Right after the columbine high school shootings I was skimming through the channels and stopped for a memorial they were having outside the school. Smith was up there playing this and it brought a tear to my eye. It was very emotional for the people attending, almost a little to much for a day that was already very emotional.

My grade sang this song for our 8th grade graduation. Now that we're seniors, it's going to mean so much more this year.
