The Osmonds (song) Friends Are Friends Forever

The Osmonds
Friends Are Friends Forever
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.
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
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.
No a lifetimes' not too long to live as friends.

[@maryfieramusca7401]

I love this song, I think of my late husband when I hear it. We were friends when we met 35 years. Even though he is gone he is still my best friend. He passed away 2 years ago.

[@annemelling2081]

My heart goes out to you. Ive known my husband for over 40 years when we were at school. Xxxx

[@GGG-sd9ei]

Mary I’m so sorry for your loss, he’ll be with you for ever in your heart. I’ve been with husband 43 years.

[@attygarland6909]

Wow. Never been married personally, but I made that observation about couples many times before: the ones that are also "best friends" have the strongest marriages, it seems to me.

[@joycebarber304]

I HAVE TEARS 😢 GOING DOWN MY FACE 😢 BECAUSE I CAN FEEL LIKE 👍 YOU MERRILL OSMOND ❤ 🐻 🐻‍❄ 🧸 XOXO ALWAYS LOVE YOU ❤

[@susanemmons7504]

[@spitty141]

I go to a Lutheran Middle school.. [St.Mark] And our whole schol sang this song last year when our 8th graders were going into 9th grade. It was sad. D:

[@jeanninehochet]

What a gorgeous song, just beautiful words and sung so beautifully.

[@88Mickyfan]

this song is so heartfelt. I almost cry every time I hear it. Goes back to my senior year in high school when I was part of the theatre group, we sang this song a few weeks before graduation.

The dearest friend I ever had in all the world died 15 years ago. Wish I had known about this song then.

[@dianemilligan3839]

I’m sorry for your loss. That song has been around over 30 years. It was written by Michael W. Smith and popular music amongst Contemporary Christian artists.

[@susanemmons7504]

Merrill has a lot of talent, all the Osmond's do, he also has a lot to say, that's song writing is easy for him.

[@johnstockton9338]

it was written by Michael. W. Smith

[@PhoenixxxStar]

They did a good job with this cover,...I'm impressed considering I have it pegged as a Michael W. Smith classic! Does anyone know if Michael has ever been a guest on the Gaithers ensemble?

[@Anna9563]

From Anna, Hi Lyn, Love this song but it makes me cry. Your friend, Anna

[@susanemmons7504]

Jim(my) Osmond's in this picture?! Pretty amazing(and looking good!) for a guy who, supposedly, "died" last year!

[@lindarobb4760]

Jimmy had a stroke in December of 2018. This is when Alan was still performing. I would say this is from the 1980's.

[@susanemmons7504]

I have 2 small suggestions for Alan and 1 small suggestion for Wayne, Merrill, Jay, and Jim(my). Alan, (1) part your hair on the right and(2) wear a long tie. Wayne, Merrill, Jay +Jim, wear long ties.

[@susanemmons7504]

Where can I get a copy of this photograph?! The 1 that showsAlan, Wayne, Merrill, Jay, and Jim(my) Osmond wearing tuxes?! I want that copy for ME! Preferably poster-size! Thanks!

[@GigaTele]

Pity that Donny wasn't in that picture
