Friends are such a vital part of life. Although people may come into your life for a short while and then leave they hold a special place in your heart and always will. Be true to your friends so that when things happen you will mean just as much to them as they mean to you.
this is such a beautiful arrangement, really enjoy hearing it on piano and with voice too. first came upon this song as a child, and today it means soooo much more as i've gotten older. have even considered having it at the next exciting event i may have in future. thank you michael for singing this and also for the reminder of the value we can have as friends in the Body of Christ. may God keep and bless you and your family. for life; claire jn8 & jer29:11
This song has a Super-Natural Meaning. There is something very mystical in this song. I am a devote Roman Catholic but when I heard Michael play this song LIVE in Tulsa, Oklahoma, this song got deep into my SPIRIT and I knew it was JESUS who was speaking to me thru Michael. When I go to Graduations or Funerals, and I see my friends whom I have not seen in years, this song comes to mind. This song will never die because the HOLY SPIRIT inspired this song in Michael.
this song remins me a great season in my youth... people, moments, friends, real friends... & how my God gives me a bunch of them, people who love me after time, after distance, after me... thnxs Lord!
this song remindes me a great season in my youth... people, moments, friends, real friends... & how my God gives me a bunch of them, people who love me after time, after distance, after me... thnxs Lord!
This is *much* better than the other live clip of this -- and since there doesn't seem to be an "official" studio video for this -- thanks for posting it.
This song has so much sentimental value to me. I first heard it at a Young Life meeting with my best friend Jim. We thought the song described our friendship. That summer we were in a car crash together. He died 6 1/2 months later. Then the song really described our friendship. It remains my favorite song and a lifetime is not too long to live as friends.
This song makes me so grateful for the friends I have and friends God has put in my path. It reminds me of my favorite friend I ever had. I miss her dearly.
To all my friends in Christ who have built me up and encouraged me along my "Journey", rather than torn me down and slaughtered a wounded soldier..this is from me to you.
THANK YOU, each and every one of you. You know who you are, for I have PERSONALLY thanked you. If I could sing this as well as Michael W.Smith, I would sing it to you, but, alas, I can not...so this is from me to you via Michael W. Smith. Thanks Michael ! :)
this song is so powerful because the true vulnerability of it transcends all time, friendships will always have good times, and bad times, shared memories and the emotional connections that are forever tied to them. even as life goes by, the events, and a song such as this will connect us to those experiences that shape who we go on in life to become.
Just a small correction. This song was released about 10yrs before 1993. It's a timeless song though...it's as beautiful today as it was over 20yrs ago. :)
preciosa cancion cuantos amigos que hoy no estan a nuestro lado pero el amor hacia ellos no ha muerto alcontrario ha crecidoo que hermoso es la amistad ese hermoso sentimiento que Dios nos dios para unirnos mas
Michael W Smith has ALWAYS been my favorite! i like to see the audience to this song, because it's SUCH a beautiful picture of how all the people are clinging their arms and hands together,like we are one big family in Christ!This song makes me cry for how wonderful people are in Christ's Kingdom!I wish I could go to Michael W Smith's concerts,just like this one,where all the people are friends,regardless of the sins everyone has.I wanna thank God for life,and all the people that he has made.
My son, Paul Martins, loved this song. It was sang at his funeral. He went to be with Christ at 16 years old. This song is such a blessing to me. We are only separated for a short while..Heaven is ahead!!!!!!!!!!!Jesus Christ rules!!!
the video may be 15 yrs old, the song 25 yrs old, but it still gets me every time!! May the Lord bless you richly as he already has, Michael!! YOU are amazing!!!
I went to this concert. I was 5 years old, but I still can remember him playing friends.
My parents took me because we had just gotten finished with a Billy Graham crusade in Charlotte, NC the previous year and they wanted to see Michael W Smith because he was our family favorite music artist - so they took my brother and I to see him there with them. It was a great family experience, and Its my favorite song to play on the piano. Ive played it fors friends funeral b4 and it still touches me.
This song is great. I played it at my daughters graduation party. And MW Smith has such a quiet, calm and loving spirit about him.....sometimes watching him I think there is even redemption for someone like me.
This song has helped me out soo much. I am in the process of losing my aunt and I have had such a hard time accepting the fact that she is going to see God and start a new life with him now. I have her past and all the good memories of her. And he can have the future with her. I know she will better off, and no more suffering. Thank you for this song Michael W. Smith My love to all and God Bless
This was never on a tv channel. It was on a VHS cocert video called "Change Your World Live." This was back in the day when Smitty was doing the large coliseum tours. It's a great concert if you can get your hands on it. Very hard to find in stores today, I know, I've tried. You might be able to get it through his website, but I'm not sure.
For my American Airlines friends.. Im on voluntary OLOA. After 20 years at this job.. I dont think Im coming back..
I will miss you..

@Anastasia21ish The song was written in 1981. So now it has been 30 yrs and it's still as powerful and on point today as it was when it was written.
