Live Performance Of 'He Calls Me Friend' From CityAlight

When we become followers of Jesus, suddenly our vocabulary changes with words like savior, amen, and blessed. Perhaps the most enduring word we speak when we are given new life is the ability to call Jesus our friend. If you call Jesus your friend, you will love this live performance of ‘He Calls Me Friend’ from CityAlight worship. 

Not only do they call our attention to who Jesus is to us, they remind us of who we are to Christ!  Because of Christ, we are born into a new family of brothers, sisters, and friends. Like Christ’s example on the cross, he reminds us in John 15:13 “Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you.”

The idea of laying down our lives for merely a friend sounds like a daunting task. But what if we could do it knowing we could save their souls? What if we could do it knowing they won’t have to experience loss, pain, or shame? 

It’s one of the many reasons Christ died for us. He gave up his life so that we could have ours. In return, we know just how deeply he cares for us. We are blessed to not only call Jesus our friend but we are also blessed to sing of his blessings. CityAlight guides us through a powerful worship song that reminds us of just how strong our unity with Christ is in the realm of friendship. 

No matter how big or small your friendship circle is, you can always count on Christ standing by your side!

“You are the light of the world. A town on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on a stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven,” Matthew 5:14-16.
