Passion - Build My Life Lyrics

Lyrics

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Passion - Build My Life (Live/Lyrics And Chords) ft. Brett Younker

Meaning & Inspiration

Released in 2017, "Build My Life" by Passion, featuring Brett Younker, stands as a powerful anthem of unwavering devotion and spiritual grounding. The song’s genesis lies in the heart of contemporary Christian worship, aiming to offer a declaration of faith and a yearning for deeper connection with God. Its central message revolves around the concept of building one's entire existence upon the steadfast love of Jesus Christ, emphasizing Him as the ultimate foundation. The lyrics express a profound realization of Christ’s unmatched worthiness of all adoration and praise, echoing sentiments found throughout Scripture, such as in Revelation 4:11 where it is proclaimed, "You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being." The repetitive declarations of "We live for You" underscore a complete surrender and dedication to His will, a sentiment directly aligned with Romans 12:1, which encourages believers to present their bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God.

The song’s strength lies in its direct address to Jesus, acknowledging His unique role as savior and the only name that truly matters, referencing Philippians 2:9-10: "Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth." The plea for open eyes and a filled heart ("Open up my eyes in wonder, Show me who You are, And fill me with Your heart, And lead me in Your love") is a prayer for spiritual enlightenment and transformation, mirroring the petitions in Ephesians 1:17-18 for a spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that the eyes of one's heart may be enlightened. This desire for a deeper understanding of God’s nature and a heart aligned with His love is a quintessential aspect of the Christian journey. The pivotal declaration, "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," draws directly from the parable of the wise builder who built his house on the rock in Matthew 7:24-25. This image of a secure and unyielding foundation is a testament to the stability that faith in Christ provides, ensuring that one’s life will withstand the storms and challenges of the world, as promised in Psalm 62:6: "Truly he is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken." The song artfully weaves together theological truths with relatable expressions of personal commitment, creating an inspiring and spiritually resonant experience for listeners, encouraging a posture of complete reliance on God's enduring love.
