Center of My Joy

by Richard Smallwood, William J. Gaither, and Gloria Gaither
When I've lost my direction
You're the compass for my way
You're the fire and light
When nights are long and cold
In sadness You are the laughter
That shatters all my fears
When I'm all alone
Your hand is there to hold
Oh

Jesus You're the center of my joy
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

You are why I find pleasure
In the simple things of life
You're the music
In the meadows and the streams
The voices of the children
My fam'ly and my home
You're the source and finish
Of my highest dreams

Jesus You're the center of my joy
All that's good and perfect comes from You
You're the heart of my contentment
Hope for all I do

Jesus You are the center of my joy
