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
REPEAT CHORUS

This song may be classified as christian contemporary, however really it is talking about dedication and loyalty as a human being and a friend. I am not religious, but definitely relate to the message of this song..... having commitment to others in life is a universal message.

I sang this for my Pastors wife many many years ago, with the help of my sister, who is a Pastor of a church and a missionary. The lyrics of this song says it all!
