"Build My Life" by Maverick City Music is a powerful worship song that has resonated with believers around the world. It is a song that declares our commitment to build our lives upon the love and faithfulness of Jesus Christ, our firm foundation.
The song begins by proclaiming that Jesus is worthy of every song, every praise, and every breath we could ever offer. It reminds us that He is the name above every other name and the only one who can save us. This echoes the truth found in Philippians 2:9-11, which says, "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, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."
As the chorus continues, it emphasizes the holiness and uniqueness of Jesus. There is no one like Him, and there is none beside Him. This echoes the words of Isaiah 40:25, which says, "To whom will you compare me? Or who is my equal?" says the Holy One.
The song then expresses a heartfelt desire to know Jesus more intimately and to be filled with His love. It asks God to open our eyes in wonder and show us who He truly is. This aligns with the prayer of the Apostle Paul in Ephesians 1:17-18, where he writes, "I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people."
The bridge of the song declares that we will build our lives upon God's love, which is a firm foundation. It proclaims our trust in Him alone and our commitment to not be shaken. This is reminiscent of the parable of the wise and foolish builders in Matthew 7:24-27, where Jesus teaches that those who build their lives on His words are like a wise man who builds his house on a rock, while those who do not are like a foolish man who builds his house on sand.
"Build My Life" is a song that reminds us of the importance of placing our trust in Jesus and building our lives upon His love and truth. It encourages us to seek Him with all our hearts and to live in a way that reflects His love to those around us.
The song has had a significant impact on listeners, with its powerful lyrics and heartfelt worship. It has been recognized and celebrated, earning Maverick City Music four Grammy wins. The song has also contributed to the movement of Maverick City Worship, which seeks to go beyond the boundaries of music and bring about a revolution in worship and culture.
Overall, "Build My Life" is a song that calls us to surrender our lives to Jesus, to trust in His unwavering love, and to build our lives upon His firm foundation. It is a reminder of the truth and promises found in Scripture and an invitation to join in worship and adoration of our Savior.
