Proud to Call You Friend

(Verse 1)
I’ve walked some roads that felt too long,
Carried weight I couldn’t name,
But right there in the middle of it all,
You showed up just the same.
No spotlight, no need for praise,
Just a heart that chose to stay,
And in a world that shifts like sand,
You were steady every day.
(Pre-Chorus)
When I was running on empty, you poured into me,
Reminded my soul who I’m called to be…
(Chorus)
I’m proud to call you friend, yeah I mean that deep,
Not just in the sunshine, but when the nights don’t sleep,
Through every high, every fall, every bend—
I thank God above… I get to call you friend.
You’ve been grace when I needed truth,
Been strength when I felt spent,
If love looks like anything in this life—
It looks like you, my friend.
(Verse 2)
We didn’t plan this story out,
Didn’t know where it would go,
But somewhere between the laughs and tears,
We built something real I know.
Not perfect, nah we both got scars,
But that’s what makes it true,
Ain’t about where we’ve been before—
It’s about what we walk through.
(Pre-Chorus)
You never needed me to be anything more,
Just showed me love like I’ve never seen before…
(Chorus)
I’m proud to call you friend, yeah I mean that deep,
Not just in the sunshine, but when the nights don’t sleep,
Through every high, every fall, every bend—
I thank God above… I get to call you friend.
You’ve been grace when I needed truth,
Been strength when I felt spent,
If love looks like anything in this life—
It looks like you, my friend.
(Bridge)
So here’s to the moments nobody sees,
The quiet prayers, the lifted knees,
The times you stood when I couldn’t stand,
That’s the kind of love that makes a man.
And if I’ve ever done anything right,
It’s walking this road with you in my life…
(Final Chorus – Lifted)
I’m proud to call you friend, yeah forevermore,
Through every open and every closed door,
Ain’t just words—this is heaven-sent,
You’re a blessing I don’t take for granted.
So I’ll say it loud, again and again—
I’m proud… so proud… to call you friend.
