Phil Wickham's 'Build My Life' is a modern worship song that declares the worthiness of God and Jesus Christ. The lyrics emphasize that God deserves all praise, worship, and every breath we have. The song focuses on the holiness of God and the desire to know Him more deeply. It also expresses a commitment to build one's life on God's love as a firm foundation and to trust in Him alone, finding stability and security in that trust. The repeated chorus asks God to open eyes in wonder and lead in love toward others.

[Verse 1]

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


[Verse 2]

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


[Chorus]

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

Worthy of every breath we could ever breathe
