Center Of My Life (Christian Hymn) Lyrics
O Lord, you are the centre of my life:
I will always praise you,
I will always serve you,
I will always keep you in my sight.
Keep me safe, O God, I take refuge in you.
I say to the Lord, “You are my God.
My happiness lies in you alone;
my happiness lies in you alone.”
O Lord, you are the centre of my life:
I will always praise you,
I will always serve you,
I will always keep you in my sight.
I will bless the Lord, who gives me counsel,
who even at night directs my heart.
I keep the Lord ever in my sight:
since he is at my right hand, I shall stand firm.
O Lord, you are the centre of my life:
I will always praise you,
I will always serve you,
I will always keep you in my sight.
And so my heart rejoices, my soul is glad;
even in safety shall my body rest.
For you will not leave my soul among the dead,
nor let your beloved know decay.
O Lord, you are the centre of my life:
I will always praise you,
I will always serve you,
I will always keep you in my sight.
You will show me the path of life,
the fullness of joy in your presence,
at your right hand,
at your right hand happiness forever.
