Friends Lyrics
Artist(Band):Michael W. Smith
Review The Song (17)Print the Lyrics
Words: Deborah D. Smith
Music: Michael W. Smith

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

Review about Friends

Friends | Reviewer: Laura | 8/14/2008
    I love the song. The lyrics are beautiful. It was played at my friend's funeral. She died a hero protecting her mother from an abusive husband. Her mom survived and she is in Heaven. I know that one day we meet again.



    A great way to start your day | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/24/2008

    I often listen to the "DOVE HITS 2003" starting with "FRIENDS" early in the morning at work. It is a great blessing and a heart-warmer. Michael W. Smith has many Christian fans in Greece. Way to go, Mike!

    Friends | Reviewer: Sarah | 12/17/2007

    When I was younger I wanted so much to end my life. I went to a place called Youth For Christ in Kansas. My friends knew how bad my life was and my friends use to sing Friends to me to help change my mind. I am so greatful that they did now I have three little girls. If it was not for that song I know I wouldn't be here today. One of those friends became my husband.



    Friends | Reviewer: AJ | 11/25/2007

    This song was sung to me before I left the US to serve as a missionary in Germany. It has had such an impact on my life. I've had rough days when I was so homesick I wanted to leave and go home - but I'll listen to this song and remember that my friends are with me, even when I'm not physically near them. It gives me strength to keep going. Thanks Michael!



    Love and Pain | Reviewer: Annie | 10/8/2007

    Love...from the Father into our hearts, imparted to each other. Pain...loss and grief saying good byes be it moving away, be it death. First heard this song in Youth Group, Young Life 1988. Loved both the funky and original version. Then a friend drowned just before entering college. This song was our heart's cry at the funeral service. Almost 20 years later, a new chapter in life. Transitions come and go. The gift of friends from Father above reminds me of His love for us.



    Graduation | Reviewer: Lisa | 9/25/2007

    I ask the music teacher at our school to work with the students so they will be able to sing this at their 5th grade graduation. It is a wonderful song and touches so many people in many different ways! Thank you!



    Saying good-bye and God's Blessings | Reviewer: Judith Pope | 9/22/2007

    Over the years since this song was first introduced by Michael W. Smith, It has touched so many lives; Especially those who were relocating to another part of the world or country. On September 30th, 2007, I will be singing this song to say good-bye to our wonderful, Godly interim Pastor who is very ill and cannot be with us any more and to our Youth Pastor who has been called by God to change the direction of his life in another area. This song to me is the most beautiful prayer you can say over a great friend. Thank You Michael for your touch of God in this song. God Bless You Always



    Friends ... | Reviewer: Theresa | 9/16/2007

    Friends ... One of the most beautiful, amazing, inspirational songs I have ever heard. This song and the guidance of my best friend has been my inspiration in overcoming some of lifes' most difficult times. It brings tears to my eyes ever time I listen to it and think of how beneficial it has been to me. A lifetime is certainly not too long to live as friends. To my best friend Ruth and Michael himself .... I "thank you" for what you have done. GOD Bless



    Ageless | Reviewer: Donna Cugini | 8/20/2007

    My youngest son (now 32) sang this at his Middle School Talent Show and won! People kept asking where they could get the music. Then when he went in the Navy, his Youth Group sang it to him at church. His older brother was going off to college and his youth group sang it to him also. Now, my best friend at work is retiring and I am singing it to her at our retirement part for her this week.



    Friends to the End | Reviewer: Jody | 8/10/2007

    Michael's song Friends was the very first song I ever heard played by the artist, that was 24 yrs ago at the beginning of Michael's career. This song has always been my favorite,so it is not surprising that when my best friend moved 1900 miles away ( to marry )I would choose this song, as the song to always remember her by. We communicate with each other by phone, letters, and it is not surprising when I tell you that she is also a great fan of Michael's, and loves the song too.
