Jason Upton's 'I Built My House Upon A Stone' is a reflective Christian song about building one's life on the solid foundation of Christ, even when it feels foolish or countercultural. The lyrics draw from the parable of the wise and foolish builders, emphasizing trust in Jesus despite life's confusion and personal failures.

I built my house upon a stone

A stone so rarely built upon 

I feel quite foolish and naive

I learned to lead from God's own son

A man rejected by his own, 

his only throne a cross of shame

Jesus, Jesus


To the lamb of God who knows me by my name

All the glory, all the honor, all the praise

To the one my future hope depends upon

I am trusting you, I am trusting you my God


My story's crazy but it's true

It started out confusing too 

And just gets stranger by the day

And that's okay


I've been the blind man on the road

I've been the boy running back home

I've been the sinner and the saint

But the love of God has never changed


To the lamb of God who knows me by my name

All the glory, all the honor, all the praise

To the one my future hope depends upon

I am trusting you, I am trusting you my God


You know me by my name

He knows you by your name

We're the sons and daughters of the living God

He knows us by our name

(Repeat)
