(verse 1)
[G]Packing up the d[Bm]reams God plan[Em]ted,
[Am]In the fertile soil of you[D/F#],      [C/D]
[G]Cant believe the ho[Bm]pes He's gran[Em9]ted,
[Am7]Means a chapter in your life is throu[D/F#]gh,

(bridge)
[D/F]But well keep you close as alwa[E]ys,
It wont e[Am9]ven seem youve go[Cm]ne,
[G]cause our hearts in b[Bm]ig and sma[Em]ll ways,
will [Am7]keep the love that kee[D/F#]ps us strong, [C/G]      [G]        [C/D]

And friends [G]are friends forever [D/F#]if the Lords t[C]he Lord of them,  [D]

Though its [Bsus4]hard to let you g[B]o, in the F[Em]athers hands we k[C]now,
That a [Am7]lifetimes not too [D7sus4]long, to live as f[G]riends,

(verse 2)
And with the faith and love God's given,
Springing from the hope we know,
We will pray the joy you live in,
Is the strength that now you show,

(bridge)
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 a fri[G]end will not say ne[D/F#]ver cause the wel[C]come will not e[D]nd,
