Center of My Life
(Based on Psalm 16)
- Paul Inwood |
|
Refrain:
O Lord, you are the center of my
life: I will always praise you, I
will always serve you, I will always
keep you in my sight. |
|
1. |
Keep me safe, O God,
I will 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."
|
|
2. |
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. |
|
3. |
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. |
|
4. |
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. |
|

From of old You are my heritage, You
my wisdom and my safety. Through the
night, You speak within my heart.
Silently, You teach me. |
|

So my heart shall sing for joy. In
Your arms I rest securely. You will
not abandon me to death. You shall
not desert me. |

sweeter than honey, than honey from
the comb |

Gently You raise me
and heal my weary soul, You lead me
by pathways of righteousness and
truth, my spirit shall sing the
music of Your Name. |

of hatred, crowning me with love
beyond my power to hold. |

and mercy follow me all the days of
my life; I will dwell in the house
of my God forevermore.
