[Intro ☕][Energy: Low] (piano alone — warm, hymn-like, searching) (electric guitar enters underneath, gentle) He called us friends Not servants Friends [Verse 1 ☕][Energy: Low-Mid] (intimate, piano forward, close vocal) There is a friendship That runs deeper Than the years we've walked together Or the miles between It's the friendship That was offered Before we knew We needed it Before we knew What friendship Could even mean He called us friends At the table He calls us friends Still And every bond We build between us Is held together By that friendship First [Pre-Chorus][Energy: Build] (drums enter soft, electric guitar lifts) Iron sharpens iron That's what the Word says But the iron Has to come From somewhere Every friendship Worth the keeping Is anchored In the one Who kept us first [Chorus 🔥][Energy: Explosive] (full band — piano driving, drums full, electric guitar soaring) (backing vocals enter — congregational, wide open) Anchored We are anchored In the friendship Of the Son Anchored In the love That held us Long before Our lives had just begun Look beside you At the one who walked with you Through every season Every storm Every year That bond was built On something Stronger than the two of you Anchored We are anchored Christ is here [Verse 2 ☕][Energy: Low-Mid] (drops back — piano and voice, intimate) There is a brother There is a sister Who has seen you At your worst And stayed Not because of What you offered But because of What was offered Both of you The same He said no greater love Than laying down And then he showed us What that looked like And every friendship Formed in that love Carries something Of that cross Inside it [Pre-Chorus][Energy: Build] (drums building, electric guitar rising, backing vocals hum) Iron sharpens iron That's what the Word says And the sharpening Can hurt But the friendship That endures it Was anchored Long before You knew its worth [Chorus 🔥][Energy: Explosive] Anchored We are anchored In the friendship Of the Son Anchored In the love That held us Long before Our lives had just begun Look beside you At the one who walked with you Through every season Every storm Every year That bond was built On something Stronger than the two of you Anchored We are anchored Christ is here [Bridge 😭][Energy: Low] (piano alone — hymn feel, vast and open) (congregation hums underneath) He didn't call us servants Though we are He called us friends Because he chose to He said Everything the Father showed me I have shown to you That kind of friendship Changes everything It changes Who you are And who you run to (electric guitar enters, single sustained notes) And when you find a friend Who knows that friendship too Who has been changed By the same love That changed you Hold on Hold on That's a gift From the same hands That hold you both [Bridge 🔥][Energy: Explosive] (full band erupts — worship moment, congregation fully engaged) And it will hold Through every year remaining It will hold When everything else shifts It will hold Because the anchor Is not our love For one another It is His Love For us [Final Chorus 🔥🔥][Energy: Explosive] (overwhelming congregational — piano thundering, full band, room singing) Anchored We are anchored In the friendship Of the Son Anchored In the love That held us Long before Our lives had just begun Look beside you At the one who walked with you Through every season Every storm Every year That bond was built On something Stronger than the two of you Anchored We are anchored Christ is here Anchored We are anchored Christ is here The anchor holds The anchor holds The anchor holds [Outro ☕][Energy: Low][Fade Out] (piano returns alone — same opening phrase) (congregation hums the chorus melody underneath) (electric guitar holds one sustained note and fades) He called us friends Not servants Friends ...and the anchor holds
