|
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 |
