Packing up the dreams God planted
In the fertile soil of you
I 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

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
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, yeah yeah

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
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
To live as friends
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
No, a lifetime's not too long to live as friends

What does that mean?

that's a very popular song by Michael W Smith... Karen Michael has an amazing story of how God lifted him out of a real quagmire in his own life. Really nice guy and writes really wonderful music and lyrics

how are you Xena?
hope you are looking around the forums here and meeting others too

Oh... thanks. That's interesting.

I stopped listening to music sometime ago when I had a lot of trouble with my memory and when noise was very irritating. Music didn't seem soothing at all then.

Now I'm better, but I've failed to go back to listening...

Thanks again. appreciate the info.

Im sorry consider this when you asked for more music I should of told you I only listen to chirstian music.

I gave up all that other music when I was saved awhile back, Now I only listen to christian music and read my bible all the time.

Its every thing too me....

They say love is cruel
They say love is rather fragile
But I've found in You
A love of another kind.

They say love brings hurt
I say love brings healing
Understanding first
It's a love of another kind.

(Bridge)
The love I know
Is a love so few discover
They need to know
Jesus' love is like no other.

They save love won't last
I say love is neverending
Cause in You I have
A love of another kind.

They would change their tune
They would add another measure
If they only knew
This love of another kind.

(Repeat Bridge)
(Repeat Verses)

Love of another kind
The love of another kind
The love of another kind
The love of another, the love of another kind.

Give me love
This is love (this is love)
Another kind, another kind of love.

This is love (this is love)
You need another kind of love
Another kind, another kind of love.
Another kind of love
This is love
Give me love
Another kind, another kind of love.

Find A Way
Amy Grant

You tell me your friends are distant
You tell my your man's untrue
You tell me that you've been walked on
And how you feel abused

So you stand here an angry young woman
Taking all the pain to heart
I hear you saying you want to see changes
But you don't know how to start

Love will find a way (How do you know)
Love will find a way (How can you see)
I know it's hard to see the past and still believe
Love is gonna find a way
I know that
Love will find a way (A way to go)
Love can make a way (Only love can know)
Leave behind the doubt
Love's the only out
Love will surely find a way

I know this life is a strange thing
I can't answer all the why's
Tragedy always finds me
Taken agin by surprise

I could stand here an angry young woman
Taking all the pain to heart
But I know that love can bring changes
And so we've got to move on

(Repeat Chorus)

If our God His Son not sparing
Came to rescue you
Is there any circumstance
That He can't see you through

(Repeat Chorus)

Sing your praise to the lord,
Come on everybody,
Stand up and sing...one more
Hallelujah,
Give your praise to the lord,
I can never tell you,
Just how much good...that its
Gonna do ya

Just to sing...anew...
The song your heart first learned to sing when he
First gave his life...to you...
The life goes on and so must the song,
You gotta sing...again...
The song born in your soul when you
First gave your heart...to him...
Sing his praises, once more

Sing your praise to the lord,
Come on everybody,
Stand up and sing...one more
Hallelujah,
Give your praise to the lord,
I can never tell you,
Just how much good...that its
Gonna do ya

Just to sing...aloud...
The song that someone is dying to hear
Down in the maddning crowd...
As you once were before your heard the song,
You gotta let them know...
The truth is a life to shine upon the way,
So maybe they...can go...
Sing his praises, once more

Sing your praise to the lord,
Come on everybody,
Stand up and sing...one more
Hallelujah,
Give your praise to the lord,
I can never tell you,
Just how much good...that its
Gonna do ya

Just to let the name of the lord...
Be praise, both for now, and evermore,
Praise him all ye servants,

Give him praise to the lord,
Come on everybody,
Stand up and sing...one more
Hallelujah,
Give your praise to the lord,
I can never tell you,
Just how much good...that its
Gonna do ya

Just to sing, sing sing...
Come on, sing, sing, sing...
I can hear you now, sing, sing, sing...

You know some days I like me.
Some days I don't.
Some days I try with passion.
Sometimes I won't.
I might just hold my guard up,
And lock my heart up tight,
But it's the door that's open,
Letting in the light.
There's a battle raging
Inside of me.
It's a holy struggle,
And it won't let go of me.
No, no, no,
I don't want to stop the fighting,
Wo, wo, wo,
I just want to live right.
I used to sit and ponder
If I'd be fine,
If Jesus lived His own life,
And I lived mine.
But love is such a magnet,
It pulled me night and day,
Until my needy heart
Just couldn't stay away.
Life can drive you crazy,
Or just about.
But even when it's most frustrating,
This kid's not walking out.
No, no, no,
I don't want to stop the fighting,
Wo, wo, wo,
Sure it's tough but I won't deny it,
No, no, no,
I don't want to waste my life hiding,
Wo, wo, wo,
I just want to live right.
I've made up my mind now,
I don't want to lose out, (Unguarded)
Beginning to see now,
What the fight is about, (Unguarded heart)
I gotta stay open,
Keep defenses all down, (Unguarded)
Don't want to be hiding,
When the love comes round.
No, no, no,
I don't want to stop the fighting,
Wo, wo, wo,
I just want to live right.
No, no, no,
I don't want to stop the fighting,
Wo, wo, wo,
Sure it's tough but I won't deny it,
No, no, no,
I don't want to waste my life hiding,
Wo, wo, wo,
I just want to live right.
No, no, no,
I don't want to stop the fight, now,
Wo, wo, wo,
I just want to live right, now.
No, no, no,
I don't want to stop the fighting,
Wo, wo, wo,
I just want to live right.
No, no, no,
I just can't stop the fighting,
Wo, wo, wo,
If I want to live right.
No, no, no,
I don't want to stop the fighting,
Wo, wo, wo,
I just want to live right
