together

Here we are, together again
gathered here, so many good friends
Here we are, sharing our lives
showing love, saying goodbye

We've come so far from where we began
It's good to see so many good friends
Now I find I can't let go
It's always hard, but one thing I know

We'll never be apart though we may seem far away
We're together in our hearts, together every day
The One who brought us here will lead us on the way
and bring us back home someday
Together again, good friends

Here we are, together again
so much more than just good friends
The times we've shared, fond memories
make us more like a family

I can't stand to let you go
Please stay here, I don't want to be alone
So when you're gone I'll reach for His hand
He'll pull me up and help me stand
_____

Here I am, surrounded again
right here with my closest friends
I've known you for so many years
we've shared good times and some tears

Now it's time for this day to end
Tomorrow we'll still be good friends
It's not the end, it's time to begin
this journey here that God has given

We'll never be apart though we may seem far away
We're together in our hearts, together every day
He has brought us here and He will lead the way
and bring us back home someday
Together again, oh together again
I'll see you again . . . my friends

I wrote this song for my Senior year in GCS, and I sang it on the GCS Tour 98 to Phoenix, Arizona. When the night came to share it with everyone I was told that there was no piano! I couldn't believe it -- I had worked so hard and now they wouldn't be able to hear it. A friend convinced me to sing it without a piano, so I did. From the reaction it was apparent that any lack of music didn't seem to matter. The words alone were enough.

This song is dedicated to everyone in GCS (especially during 1995-1998). You guys really are my best friends. I couldn't have done it without you. Leaving GCS is one of the hardest things I've ever had to do, I had an incredible and wonderful time. It was awesome! I'll love you guys forever.
