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’s 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 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
and 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.
