[00:15.10]Packing up the dreams
[00:18.20]God planted
[00:22.45]In the fertile soil of you
[00:30.00]I Can't believe the hopes He's granted
[00:37.13]Means a chapter in your life is through
[00:44.17]But we'll keep you close as always
[00:52.22]It won't even seem you've gone
[00:59.45]Cause our hearts in big and small ways
[01:07.20]Will keep the love that keeps us strong
[01:14.40]
[01:18.49]And friends are friends forever
[01:22.11]If the Lord's the Lord of them
[01:25.92]And a friend will not say "never"
[01:29.58]Cause the welcome will not end
[01:33.44]Though it's hard to let you go
[01:37.11]In the Father's hands we know
[01:40.96]That a lifetime's not too long to live as friends
[01:47.40]
[01:52.55]With the faith and love God's given
[02:00.00]Springing from the hope we know
[02:07.60]We will pray the joy you'll live in
[02:14.99]Is the strength that now you show
[02:21.30]But we'll keep you close as always
[02:29.10]It won't even seem you've gone
[02:36.88]Cause our hearts in big and small ways
[02:44.60]Will keep the love that keeps us strong
[02:51.71]
[02:55.30]And friends are friends forever
[02:59.53]If the Lord's the Lord of them
[03:03.44]And a friend will not say "never"
[03:07.10]Cause the welcome will not end
[03:10.82]Though it's hard to let you go
[03:14.66]In the Father's hands we know
[03:18.47]That a lifetime's not too long to live as friends
