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
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
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
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

Meaning & Inspiration
Build My Life is a prayer of worship, dependence, and moral formation. It begins by declaring Jesus worthy of every song, every breath, and all praise, then names him as the only Savior. The chorus moves from declaration to petition, asking for opened eyes, a transformed inner life, and guidance in loving others. Holiness is therefore presented not only as an attribute to praise but also as the basis for a life redirected toward God and neighbor.
The bridge supplies the song’s governing image: a life built on divine love as a firm foundation. Matthew 7:24-25 closely parallels that language by describing the person who acts on Christ’s words as a house founded on rock. Acts 4:12 supports the confession that salvation is found in Jesus alone, while Mark 12:30-31 connects devotion to God with love for those nearby. The repeated promise not to be shaken gives the song a steady conclusion centered on trust, obedience, and the reliable character of God.
