EBEN - Make A Name Lyrics
Lyrics
How can I serve You, Lord?
How can I please You, Lord?
My life is for Your glory, all I want is to please You
How can I serve You, Lord?
How can I please You, Lord?
How can I please You, Lord? My God
My life's for Your glory, all I want is to please You
How can I please You, Lord?
Make a name for Yourself with my life
Make a name for Yourself with my life
Every breath I take, every move I make
Make a name for Yourself with my life
There's no higher calling, no greater honor
Than to bow and worship You
There's no other reason, this life, it has no meaning
Without You, so I give it all to You
Make a name for Yourself with my life
Make a name for Yourself with my life
Every breath I take, every move I make
Make a name for Yourself with my life
Make a name for Yourself with my life
Make a name for Yourself with my life
Every breath I take, every move I make
Make a name for Yourself with my life
Make a name for Yourself with my life
Make a name for Yourself with my life
Every breath I take, every move I make
Make a name for Yourself with my life
Make a name for Yourself with my life
Make a name for Yourself with my life
Every breath I take, every move I make
Make a name for Yourself with my life
My life is not my own
To You it all belongs
I'm available
Make a name for Yourself with my life
My life is not my own
To You it all belongs
I'm available
Make a name for Yourself
Make a name for Yourself
Make a name for Yourself with my life
Make a name for Yourself
Make a name for Yourself
Make a name for Yourself with my life
Make a name for Yourself
Make a name for Yourself
Make a name for Yourself with my life
Iwo lo lo'go
Awa la' segun
Make a name for Yourself with my life
Iwo lo lo'go
Awa la' segun
Make a name for Yourself with my life
Iwo lo lo'go
Awa la' segun
Make a name for Yourself with my life
My life is not my own
To You it all belongs
I'm available
Make a name for Yourself with my life

Meaning & Inspiration
"Make A Name," released in 2024 as part of the EP of the same title featuring Pastor Emmanuel Iren, is a powerful declaration of surrendered purpose rooted deeply in Christian devotion. At its core, the song articulates a profound desire to live a life that magnifies God, moving beyond personal ambition to a singular focus on glorifying the divine. The central theme is a radical offering of one's entire existence as a vessel for God's renown. This isn't about seeking earthly fame or recognition for oneself, but rather for God to establish His name and presence through the artist's actions and being. The repeated plea, "How can I serve You, Lord? How can I please You, Lord?" sets the stage for this submissive posture, echoing the sentiment found in passages like Romans 12:1, which implores believers to present their bodies as living sacrifices, holy and acceptable to God, which is their spiritual worship. The aspiration expressed is to align every breath and every move with God's will, as stated in Colossians 3:17, "And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him." The lyrics emphatically state that life holds no inherent meaning without this divine connection, a sentiment resonating with Ecclesiastes 1:14, which speaks of all being "meaningless, a chasing after the wind." The artist's commitment is total, as evidenced by the powerful declaration, "My life is not my own; to You it all belongs; I'm available," a direct reflection of the surrender of believers, as described in 1 Corinthians 6:19-20: "Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies." The inclusion of Yoruba phrases like "Iwo lo lo'go" (You have the glory) and "Awa la' segun" (We are the victorious ones) further emphasizes this divine authorship of glory and the resultant victory experienced through faith, underscoring the biblical truth that all glory belongs to God (Psalm 115:1) and that victory is ultimately His, imparted to His followers. This song is a profound and inspiring testament to a life fully dedicated to God's purpose, offering a compelling model for anyone seeking to live with divine intention.
