Unpolished, emotional, and real — music that drifts between spoken word, rap, trap, EDM and alt-pop, world music, folk and singer-songwriter genres.

Stay True! "Eternium Edit"

“Walking With a Friend” is a warm, intimate indie folk-pop worship ballad built on fingerpicked acoustic guitar, soft piano, and a gentle conversational vocal. The song feels like sitting across from Jesus at a kitchen table—honest, vulnerable, deeply human.
The verses are tender and personal, delivered with a close-mic’d warmth, while the pre-chorus lifts into hope and quiet confidence. The chorus opens wide with joyful freedom, supported by brushed drums and soft bass.
Verse 3 adds emotional depth, the bridge builds with gratitude and wonder, and the quiet section offers a vulnerable breath before the explosive, grateful declaration that follows.
The final chorus modulates upward, creating a bright, celebratory finale before settling back into a peaceful, thankful outro.
It’s a song about companionship with Jesus—steady, safe, joyful, and real.

Lyrics

Verse 1

You know my name and all my stories
The ones I'm proud of and the ones I hide
You've seen me at my worst and still You love me
Walking next to me by my side

Pre-Chorus

I don't have to pretend with You
You already know it all
You're not waiting for perfection
You just want my heart

Chorus

I'm walking with a Friend who knows me
Really knows me, still He chose me
No more masks, no more walls between us
Just the kindness of my Savior Jesus
I'm walking with a Friend, walking with a Friend

Verse 2

You celebrate my joy like it's Your own
You sit with me when tears are all I have
You're not disappointed when I don't have it together
You just pull up close and make me laugh

Pre-Chorus

I don't have to pretend with You
You already know it all
You're not waiting for perfection
You just want my heart

Chorus

I'm walking with a Friend who knows me
Really knows me, still He chose me
No more masks, no more walls between us
Just the kindness of my Savior Jesus
I'm walking with a Friend, walking with a Friend

Verse 3

There's something different when You're near me
Like I can finally breathe and just exist
No pressure to perform or prove my value
You already decided I'm worth this

Bridge 

How did I get so fortunate
To know the One who made the stars
And He calls me friend, calls me friend
Nothing I could do to earn this love
But here You are with open arms
And You call me friend, You call me friend

And when the world gets loud and heavy
When I forget who I'm meant to be
You remind me with a whisper
I'm already free, I'm already free

Bridge 

You call me friend, You call me friend
Through every season, every bend
You call me friend, YOU CALL ME FRIEND
This grace I'll never comprehend

Final Chorus 

I'm walking with a Friend who knows me
Really knows me, still He chose me
No more masks, no more walls between us
Just the kindness of my Savior Jesus
I'm walking with a Friend, walking with a Friend

Walking with a Friend who loves me
Who I am and who I'm becoming
Every moment, every morning
This friendship keeps on growing
I'm walking with a Friend, walking with my Friend

Outro

Walking with a Friend… my forever Friend…
You call me friend…

Walking With a Friend

Can't Hide Light
