Michael W. Smith - Friends - Cover - Lyrics

Recorded this because the band directory from high school recently passed... and this is one of those horrible cheeseball songs they used to get in a circle and hold hands and sing together in band-camp ... R.I.P. Mr Pease... I would only do this shit in your honor.

Michael W. Smith - Friends
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 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
