Michael W. Smith - Friends

Artist: Michael W. Smith
Title : Friends
Album : Change Your World

Year  : 1992

Packing up the dreams God planted

In the fertile soil of you

I 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  (forever)

If the Lord's the Lord of them (Lord's the Lord of them)

And a friend will not say "Never" (not say "Never")

'Cause the welcome will not end (welcome will not end)

Though it's hard to let you go (to let you go)

In the Father's hands we know (Yeah...)

That a lifetime's not too long

To live as friends (To 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
