"Build My Life" by Michael W. Smith is a powerful worship song that has resonated with countless people around the world. The song's lyrics speak of the worthiness of Jesus and the desire to build our lives upon His love. It is a call to surrender, trust, and commitment to God.
The song begins by acknowledging the worthiness of Jesus. It declares that He is worthy of every song, every breath, and all the praise that we could ever bring. This echoes the words of Revelation 5:12, which says, "Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!" It sets the tone for the rest of the song, reminding us that Jesus is above all and deserving of our worship.
As the song continues, it exalts the name of Jesus as the only one who can save. Philippians 2:9-11 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." These verses emphasize the power and authority of Jesus' name and affirm the truth proclaimed in the song.
The chorus of "Build My Life" expresses a desire to know God more deeply and to be filled with His heart. It asks God to open our eyes in wonder and show us who He is. This echoes the prayer of the psalmist in Psalm 119:18, which says, "Open my eyes that I may see wonderful things in your law." It is a plea for divine revelation and a recognition that only God can truly reveal Himself to us.
The bridge of the song declares a commitment to build our lives upon God's love, which is described as a firm foundation. This idea is reminiscent of Jesus' teaching in Matthew 7:24-25, where He says, "Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock." The song encourages us to put our trust in God alone and promises that we will not be shaken.
"Build My Life" by Michael W. Smith is more than just a song; it is a heartfelt expression of devotion and surrender to God. Its lyrics draw from biblical truths and invite listeners to worship and build their lives upon the foundation of God's love. It reminds us that Jesus is worthy of our praise, that His name is above all, and that our trust should be placed solely in Him.
As we sing this song, we are reminded of our need for God's revelation, His guidance, and His love. It is a reminder that when we build our lives upon the firm foundation of God's love, we can face any storm or challenge that comes our way. It is a call to surrender our plans, dreams, and desires to God and to allow Him to shape and guide our lives.
"Build My Life" has touched the hearts of many people, leading them into a deeper relationship with God and inspiring them to live a life of worship and trust. Its timeless message continues to resonate and bring hope to those who listen to it. So let us join together in singing this song, declaring our commitment to build our lives upon the love of Jesus and to trust in Him alone.
