    LYRICS:
    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.
    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.
    You are why I find pleasure in the simple things in life,
    You're the music in the meadows and the streams.
    The voices of the children, my family, 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,
    joy, joy, of my joy.

      I know that can be very difficult and frustrating. I suffered from 2008-2011. But God was there for me. I prayed more and spent time reading God's Word. But I did get help by going to a psychologist for 3 years. 1st year one on one. Then 2 years group therapy. It helped so much.
      No I'm a pastor and I counsel others. Look at God. He will work it out.

    Such a beautiful song. It is timeless. It is gospel, not hip-hop dance club music with gospel lyrics. This song is calming me on tonight at 11:13pm, as so many things are swirling around me - enough to make someone fall out on the floor from stress! BUT GOD! I'm working on some administrative tasks right now and the TH-cam window was open and this song was on auto-pause, so I just pressed it to listen, and this is the 2nd listen. Thank you Richard Smallwood for the best reminder to all of us, in pure words, that all that's good and perfect comes from the Lord. We just need to rest in his assurances and trust Him, in the good times and in the challenging times. Jesus is truly the center of my Joy!

    My husband passed on December 12, 2022. This song popped up on my phone in the following week and ministered to me in my grief. The first two lines says it all. I had it sung after my tribute at his funeral. I wake singing it during the night and when I start humming during the day, this is the song.
