  • this song was played at my Grandfather's funeral on May 24, 2008, and when I heard it I cried. I now have this song on my iPod, and every time I hear it, I try soo hard not to cry, and usually don't cry. R.I.P. Grampap

  • The high school I graduated from last year has always had the choir sing to this song during the graduation ceremony. Although they didn't play it for my group, I will always look back at my school years and friends when hearing this song. If they had played it though, I probably would have balled my eyes out knowing I won't see many of my friends for a long time and possibly never again.

  • One of my favorites of all time!

  • Its amazing how he wrote this song after what happened... It's amazing how with the help of God he was able to just Stop his addiction like that. Its incredible.

  • I haven't had decent friends in the last three years most of them only want they think they can take and gain from being friends with me. glad to be able to help the good ones though.

  • I dedicate this song to my long time freind Kelly of over 26 years who lost her 2 1/2 year battle with cancer on Saturday November 26 at 6 pm; as she was carried in the arms of God's angel to Heaven's gates where Jesus as well as past family members and friends waited there to greet her. Jesus Christ is WHO she worshipped and adored as her very best friend of all. Her saviour but FIREND as Jesus referred to her as well. Friends for all eternity.

  • Alguien tiene este canto pero en ESPAÑOL?????...porfaaaaaaaa ayudenme... lo necesito !!.........mil gracias...

  • CURTE ESSE SOM MANEIRO AE GALERA DO VASCAO!!! DOMINGO TEM JOGAO! VASCAO NA CABEÇA!

  • Why would you need to pack up the dreams that God has planted??? But still it's a great song. We could learn from this song!

  • Comment removed

  • if HE planted the dreams, then why would we pack them up? sounds nice at first. sorry, just made a friend 6 weeks ago.she got closer to me than i ever allow anyone. now she has gone back to her home. may never see her again. where is the joy in that? i'll see her in heaven? ok, doesn't help much right now

  • this song reminds me so much of what kind of relationship I had with my uncle before he died in March of this year. I miss you so much Uncle Benji and know that you will always be in my heart.

  • For marching band, after some of the events we are at we stand in a circle and sing this, it's been a tradition for years at my school. I always tear up when the seniors start crying.

  • This song is a real tearjerker for me... it was played during a slideshow at the summer camp I went to at the goodbye night.

  • We used to sing this song every Sunday while I was in Basic training in 1990. My best friend and I met there and have always said this was our song. She lost her 12 year battle with brain cancer this past week and this song expresses our friendship perfectly. RIP Allie!

  • 24 years ago this year, this song was played at my dads funeral. I knew it was a wonderful song at six and I want this played when I go

  • i love this song

  • 24 years ago, we played Friends at the senior year banquet for our church youth group. This was our class theme song. Karen started to read the lyrics out loud, but she broke down at one point. Jason tried to help her, but there wasn't a dry eye in the house by that point. These dear friends had led me to Christ two years earlier when I was 16, without saying a word. They lived Christ! Now, everytime I hear this song, I'm reminded of my JN friends! "And a friend will not say never..." God bless!

  • singing this at Grad in exactly 2 weeks today!!!! with one of my friends, and she is moving :( and my other friend thats leaving is playing it on the piano for us......

  • When I first listen to this song was when my daughter graduated from high school, her friend picked this song and every since then I truly get blessed with it because a friend is to be cherished for ever. I praise the Lord for this song it is very inspiring to me and reminds me about the love of God for His disciples and thats how we need to love our friends, blessings to everyone.

  • My dear sister Michelle went on to be in God's presence this past Monday. She had many physical challenges and we made the decision to take her off life support. This was her absolute favourite song, and will be played at her memorial service a week from tomorrow. I will ALWAYS love you, Michelle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Today was my last day of school in a very close group of students. I remembered this song from about ten years ago when I had to say goodbye to my best friend, and it's been helping me to remember the great times I've had these past four years and really making me feel better, even through the tears.

  • I'm singing this song for choir and I love this song

  • I dedicated this to someone who passed away about 18 yrs ago...I looked up to her an miss her smile!

  • This was sung at my HS graduation many years ago. I love this song. Plus in a few yrs. I am moving from the state I am in and closer to my family again. I plan to dedicate this song to the few close friends I have made where I am right now, and of course my church "family."

  • "Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends with them?"

    ~ Abraham Lincoln

  • @AutumnSplendors

    Yes, Love is the answer, and God is Love... We love Him, and we love one another because He first loved us. And this how we express our love to God, that we obey His commandments. If we love Him, we will obey Him. I John 4:19, 5:3

  • This song was the title song to a play written by Micheal called "Forever Friends". I will always cherish the friends I made while both learning my part in the play and those who we visited in Florida preforming. Love to all my Reavis friends :)

  • @OriginalTexcalibur -- in the late 1980s the youth group that I was a leader for performed this play. Does anyone know where I can get any version of a soundtrack to this play? Also if anyone has heard of a play called "the race is on". thank you

  • Beautiful song, even more beautiful meaning.

  • sang this song last night with my friend a precious sister in the lord jesus... so classic and warm and annoited...

  • To everyone reading this blog, I love each of you, health, wealth, and prosperity for you, in 2011, and always!

  • i remember my aunt used to play this song for me when i was a little boy. they played this song at her funeral when she passed. its been almost 10 years since then and i still listen to this song when i miss her. it reminds me that even tho she left this world, we are still best friends. im 22 now and i still miss her everyday.

  • @MrFatfactor my grandpa just died in January, he loved this song, I feel his spirit as the song plays, know that your auntie is with the Lord, and you will see her again, for now, listen to this song, and be reminded of her love. Peace in your journey, and God bless you and your friends and family, AND ALL OF YOU!

  • i remember this song when i was a little girl. my dad would play it on the radio. i love this song.

  • @InvaderZee2112 If it bothered you that much you could have left the room. I pray that one day, you will come to know the truth of God's love. My sister, who just passed away on May 23rd, had many disabilities - and even so, she took great comfort in this song.

  • @dotmacis You can't just get up and leave at graduation. Besides she's not doing it now anyway. I went to Catholic school for 16 years (including college), but I've been agnostic since I was five. Logic > blind faith. Also, I don't know if it was you who did it, but just because you don't like my post it doesn't make it spam.

  • @InvaderZee2112 Don't worry ... it wasn't me who marked your post as spam. I only do that when pornography or vulgar language is used. My faith in God grew as I watched Him work in my life and my sister's life. Yes, she was disabled, but God taught me SO many things I might never have learned if she hadn't been disabled.

  • I got the news today that two friends of mine are moving out of state. One of them I've known for a year, the other I've known for 5 years. I've dedicated this song to them since I heard the news. I only wish it didn't hurt so much knowing that they're leaving.

  • I love this song. It just kind of makes me sad. I think of my friends, and how I've let them down at times...

  • I just lost my close friend two days ago, and was looking for a song that had the words that is in my heart. Thank you for a beautiful song that says those words.

  • @Naturenut711 that is so sad I am very sorry!

  • @Naturenut711 I am sorry, friend. God's with us, and with your friend as well! Don't ever worry; put it all in His hands!

  • The most beautiful song with a promise!

  • What a great song! I listen to it often. I'm 20 & a 13-yr cancer survivor. Every year I go to a camp for kids w/ cancer. On the last day we all stand in a circle, holding hands & sing this song.

  • GOD does not Plant Dreams... HE.. Gives His Holy Word... to Obey!

    (James 1:22) Keep on being doers of the Word, and Not merely hearers who Deceive themselves.

  • scribd (dot) com/nb812

  • THIS IS A SONG THAT ALWAYS BRINGS TEARS TO MY EYES...GOOD MEMORIES AT GRNPA'S HOUSE....DEDICATED TO MY CHILDREN & GRNCHILDREN.

  • Takes me back to junior high days...sad and comforting at the same time.

  • Somehow, this song makes me feel sad, or something about how this video is put together. Not sure what it is. When I think about working on the other side of the world, I don't like to thing about leaving friends, but about making new ones. Not to disrespect them, I just don't like hanging onto the past, and home is wherever you drop your anchor -- so to speak -- or wherever you let yourself experience the community.

  • Wonderful song. Michael W. Smith is very powerful Christian singer

  • Wow, that's such a beautiful song!!

  • That's great.... On RentAFriend. COM .... one of my friend told me about this clip. Really nice.

  • Reminds me of my highschool years.()

  • this song is soo sad all i think about is my bro RIP terry and your missed!

  • We love this song! We listen to it all the time. Thumbs up if you love this song! :D

  • i almost cried 

  • A friend is a person who is always a positive influence to everyone. I'm sure that everybody has true friends that are waiting to be discovered by a beating heart. I'd like to have more friends, and I think God will help me achieve that. Thank you Lord!!!

  • @Dimeconquienandasya All things are possible if only we believe.

  • this song reminds me of my russian blue kitten that ran away at 9 months

    im very sad about that

  • Proverbs 3:5-6 (New International Version) 5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; 6 in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.

  • This song was a source of stregnth for me when I left home just out of high school. Now, my daughter has just graduated high school. It's a touching memory to share with her. The words are true and timeless. All children/parents should live as friends always.

  • My senior year, all my friends got together for a camp out. Like a bunch of hippies, we all sat around the fire, pulled out a guitar, and sang this song. Best time of my life

  • love these pictures.love this song too. makes me cry. am so excited about seeing michael w smith with my sister in two months in fresno,ca. hopefully we dont get rained out again this year. got us front row seats again too.

  • This song kind of makes me cry cause it reminds me of my grandmother who passed away my junior year of high school.My cousin sang it at her funeral service

    and since then every time I hear this song I think of my grandmother. RIP

    Leatrice Dailey.
