Here is the lyric:
In the fertile soil of you
I can't believe the hopes He's granted
Means a chapter of 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
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
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
Also, on 29 June on last Friday, she called me and sms me to tell me that she passed her final exam. That mean she is now finished her study after a long struggle with her study. It was God's hand that hold her in here and it's also God's hand that send her back to Indonesia. I feel so sad, but I didn't want to cry or sad in front of her. All I can do is spending more time with her in here at the moment, so I asked my supervisor to alter my next week shift, so I'll be able to serve God together with her in here for the last time before she is going back to Indonesia.
I agree with the lines in the song:
Her fertile soil that God had prepared is in Indonesia,
the hope that God granted to her is in Indonesia,
a chapter of her life in here is through (it's full of memories in here),
I'll keep her close always (deep embedded in my heart),
Cause our hearts in big and small ways,
the love that keep us strong (as sister always),
she is my friend forever (nothing will change our relationship),
If the Lord's the Lord of them,
and I will not say never to her,
my welcome to her will not end (in fact I hope I can welcome her always whenever she come over),
it's too hard to let her go (really really hard),
but I know that a lifetime is not too long to live as friend (in fact I hope that we will still be friend in the heaven above),
with the faith and love that God's given to her (during her stay in here),
I hope that she will always live in joy (joy is come within and it's from God),
her joy is the strength that she always show to me (she shows lots of her strength characters that grown a lot in here).
Wait, what is missing? Here, this line:
It won't even seem you've gone <-- I cannot pretend on it, it seem you are going for a long time, that's why I'm still sad.
