August 31, 2020 - The lyrics say, “Friends are friends forever if the Lord’s the lord of them.” Smith’s point is that when our earthly friends are friends in Christ, our relationship does not end, even when we are separated by time and distance.

Packing up the dreams God planted ... 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 ...

[Pre-Chorus] But we'll keep you close as always It won't even seem you've gone (It won't seem you've gone) 'Cause our hearts in big and small ways Will keep the love that keeps us strong Yeah, yeah [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 And friends are friends forever If the Lord's the Lord of them (The lord-) And a friend will not say never (It will never say-) 'Cause the welcome will not end (Ooh) 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 To live as friends

Packing up the dreams God planted ... 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 ...

This kind of friendship is rare – so rare, in fact, that it only comes through faith. More specifically, when we truly and deeply believe the gospel. When we believe the gospel of Jesus Christ, we are free to let go of what we perceive to be our own rights and privileges. We are free to truly rejoice with others and to do all in our power to see them become everything God intends for them to be.

“Friends are friends forever. If the Lord’s the Lord of them, a friend will not say never ’cause the welcome will not end. Although it’s hard to let you go, in the Father’s hands we know, a lifetime’s not too long to live as friends.” — Quote by Michael W. Smith
