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
And friend's are friend's 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
That a lifetime's not too long to live as friends.
That a lifetime's not too long to live as friends
No, a lifetime's not too long to live as friends.
