Written by Nik Day and Jeremy Christensen
Arranged by Mitch Davis, Todd Trần
Produced by Joseph Moore, Landon Alley, Mitch Davis, Todd Trần
Artist: Alex Elggren
🎧 Lyrics
He says the field is white,
Ready to harvest.
People are starving for His truth.
With all my heart and mind,
I want to serve Him.
He has a work for me to do.
Pre-Chorus
I’m a beloved son of God,
A beloved son of God,
So I’ll help Him spread His love.
Chorus
I’m holding up my light,
Building up the kingdom,
Bringing souls to Him.
I’m laying down my life,
Building up the kingdom—
Woah, oh, His kingdom.
I’m laying brick by brick
And looking to His throne,
All in my Savior’s name.
He is the cornerstone.
I’m laying down my life,
Building up the kingdom—
Woah, oh, His kingdom.
He says the worth of souls
Is great in His eyes,
So I’ll invite all I can
To help prepare the world
For all the blessings
That we’ll see when He comes again.
Pre-Chorus
I’m a beloved son of God,
A beloved son of God,
So I’ll help Him spread His love.
Chorus
I’m holding up my light,
Building up the kingdom,
Bringing souls to Him.
I’m laying down my life,
Building up the kingdom—
Woah, oh, His kingdom
I’m laying brick by brick
And looking to His throne,
All in my Savior’s name.
He is the cornerstone.
I’m laying down my life,
Building up the kingdom—
Woah, oh, His kingdom.
Woah, woah,
Woah, oh, His kingdom.
Woah, woah,
Woah, oh, His kingdom.
Chorus
I’m holding up my light,
Building up the kingdom,
Bringing souls to Him.
I’m laying down my life,
Building up the kingdom—
Woah, His kingdom.
I’m laying brick by brick
And looking to His throne,
All in my Savior’s name.
He is the cornerstone.
I’m laying down my life,
Building up the kingdom—
Woah, oh, His kingdom.
