Songs that warms my heart

He took me by surprised again =) I was walking around United Square shopping around for my nephew's clothes and hopefully get a good pair of shoe for my colleague to bring home. She stays just 2mins drive away from my home in Ipoh. I stepped into this shop with just shoes and there was this section which was on Sale. I would say that the one I liked best was also the only size left right for my nephew =)
As I was paying for the shoes, the song that was played in the shop just gave me a sense of His presence. Honestly, I couldn't really hear the lyrics. So I asked her what cd was it. She said it was a Christian cd she bought a long time back and may not be sold anymore called 'Almighty God'. She then asked me if I want a copy =D I accepted it gladly =) It must be God. Heh- Lately, I've been hoping to find nice Christian songs and this cd contains some old songs which I listened to when I was young, while the others are just...I would say special ;) I told her I worked with children and she shared a little about her interested in studying it too.
I especially love this song by Michael W Smith, 'Friends Are Friends Forever' in the cd. And as I type in yahoo to look for the lyrics, the first video clip that opened up to was a piano piece. Just last Sunday I asked Joan for a few piano piece both for my kids and myself to listen. This is really a beautiful piece and brings a warmth to my heart. Have a listen to it. You'll love it =)
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
