🎵 New Track: Build My Life

“It's like T-Pain meets Pat Barrett“

The King Worship project has a number of components to it, all with a view towards helping people worship God. One of my goals is to write and record songs that glorify Jesus.

Last week I published my first song under King Worship, which was a cover of the Housefires song, Build My Life.

You can have a listen via Soundcloud (lyrics are at the bottom of this page):

I chose this song for my first attempt because

• it’s a favourite at my church (read: overused)

• it has quite a simple chord and lyric structure which allowed for more flexibility in the arrangement.

I might write about the arranging/recording process later if anyone’s interested. In the meantime I’m hopefully going to record a completely new song I’ve written, as well as planning what song to cover next — send me any suggestions you might have.

🙌 Feedback so far

The feedback from my select group of beta listeners (aka friends and family) has been pretty much as good as I could have hoped, though I’m aware it won’t be to everyone’s tastes. You can let me know what you think in the comments… be nice. Here’s a few comments:

“A great sound”

— Dan

“It’s like T-Pain meets Pat Barrett”

— Another Dan

“It feels kind of 'London' to me… would suit a GuvnaB style rap”

— Cait

“This is extremely cool”

— Fi

“So many cool ideas happening at once”

— Pete

Thanks to everyone who took the time to listen. If you enjoyed it please do share it, and i’ll see you next time!

🎤 Build My Life lyrics

(Singalong-a-worship-song)

Verse

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

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 and show me who You are
And fill me with Your heart
And lead me in Your love to those around me

Bridge

I will build my life upon Your love
It is a firm foundation
I will put my trust in You alone
And I will not be shaken

Build My Life was written by Brett Younker, Karl Martin, Kirby Kaple, Matt Redman, Pat Barrett. Arrangement and performance by Graham Ormiston/King Worship.
