Verse 1 (Repeat)
Worthy of every song we could ever sing
Worthy of all the praise we could ever bring
Worthy of every breath we could ever breathe
We live for You

Jesus, the name above every other name
Jesus, the only one who could ever save
Worthy of every breath we could ever breathe
We live for You
Chorus (Repeat x4)
Holy, there is no one like You
There is none beside You
Open up my eyes in wonder
Show me who You are
And fill me with Your heart
And lead me in Your love to those around me
Bridge (Repeat x3)
I will build my life upon Your love
It is a firm foundation
I will put my trust in You alone
And I will not be shaken
Chorus (Repeat x2)

Meaning & Inspiration
"Build My House / Holy There Is None Beside You" opens with a series of parallel declarations, worthy of every song, all praise, every breath, before naming Jesus directly as the name above every other name and the only source of salvation. That accumulated structure, worthiness described across multiple categories, frames devotion as total rather than partial.
Its bridge shifts to direct address, declaring God's uniqueness and asking that eyes be opened in wonder to see him more clearly, before requesting a heart filled with God's own character extended toward others nearby. That progression, from declared worship to personal transformation, ties the song's praise to its stated desire for changed character.
Rooted in contemporary worship's foundation and stability theme, the song builds toward a closing declaration of built life and unshaken trust, its repeated image of building upon love as a firm foundation echoing a well-known teaching about building a house on solid rock rather than sand.
