Build My Life - HouseFires

I'd like to share to you "Build my Life" and why it has become one of my favorite songs ever. The song is all about building your life in Jesus's name.Worthy of every song we could ever singWorthy of all the praise we could ever bringWorthy of every breath we could ever breatheWe live for youJesus the name above every other nameJesus the only one who could saveWorthy of every breath we could ever breatheWe live for youOh we live for youThe songs starts off with phrases that speak of how our Lord is worthy and the lyrics give me an overwhelmed feeling of being safe and guided him. In the phrase "We live for you" this truly shows how we can build our life around him and how we can trust on him and lean on him whenever we are in trouble.Holy there is no one like youThere is none beside youOpen up my eyes in wonderAnd show me who you areAnd fill me with your heartAnd lead me in love to those around meI personally love the chorus as it tells the story about how we were lost and then Jesus has saved us and filled us with his love and then is leading us to love others the way he has loved us. This chorus definitely has the most meaning to me as a person.And I will build my life upon your loveIt is a firm foundationI will put my trust in you aloneAnd I will not be shakenThis bridge makes me cry all the time. It's just so emotional and heartfelt that as I sing my heart out then I definitely feel the Lord working through me and fixing problems that I have been struggling to deal with. It tells us how strong our Lord's love is and that we should form our life around him because he is a firm foundation. In the line ‘I will put my trust in you alone and I will not be shaken’ Pat Barrett, the author, relates it to Luke chapter 6, where a man dug a hole and built his house on the rock, and when the storm came, the house stayed firm in it’s foundation. This really shows us how we can build our life on Jesus’ foundation and that we can all trust in the way he forms our lives around him.Have a listen to the song here and remember our spotify playlist with it is here here.Tom Kupers
