Dat is een quote uit een lied van Michael W. Smith dat gaat over afscheid
Packing up the dreams God planted
In the fertile soil of you
Cant believe the hopes he's granted
Means a chapter in your life is through
But we'll keep you close as always
It wont 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 Lords the Lord of them
And a friend will not say never
'cause the welcome will not end
Though its hard to let you go
In the Fathers hands we know
That a lifetimes not too long to live as friends.
With the faith and love Gods 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 wont even seem youve gone
'cause our hearts in big and small ways
Will keep the love that keeps us strong
And friends are friends forever
If the Lords the Lord of them
And a friend will not say never
'cause the welcome will not end
Though its hard to let you go
In the Fathers hands we know
That a lifetimes not too long to live as friends.
