I Built My House Upon a Stone

Jason Upton


I built my house upon a stone
A stone so rarely built upon I feel quite foolish and naïve
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 a 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

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
