Jesus You're the center of my joy Lord all that's good and perfect Comes from You You're the heart of my contentment Hope for all I do Jesus You're the center of my joy When I've lost my direction You're the compass for my way You're the pilot when Nights are long and cold Through the sadness You are the laughter That shadows all my fears When I'm down and out Your hand is there to hold You are why I find pleasure In the simple things in life You're the music in the meadows And the streams You're in the voices of my children In my family and my home You're the source and finisher Of my highest dreams
