Smallwood, Richard - Center Of My Joy Lyrics
[Chorus 1:]
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.
[Verse 1:]
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.
[Chorus 1]
[Verse 2:]
You are why I find pleasure in the simple things in life,
The voices of the children, my family, and my home,
You're the source and finish of my highest dreams.
[Chorus 2:]
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...
[Vamp:]
Jesus, You are the center of my joy.
[Ending:]
Jesus, You are the center of my joy,
joy, joy, of my joy.

I love this! I remember singing this song with Richard and my choir in Hawaii years ago. Is that Tondra Penn near the end of the video?
This is pure singing, none of that extra stuff. I LOVE IT! Toward the end when they start to sing "Ahhhhh" can someone tell me who the gentlemen with the glasses is?
He appears at 5:18. Thank you to any and everyone that answered.
I love this song
MERCI AMEN
Just listen to this song today in church 🙏🙏
God is love...
Praise him Judah!
Classic & blessings
Ah Lord we bless You
Amen & Hallelujah!!!! 🙌💯
“When I’ve lost my direction, you are my compass.” That part gets me!
Then, when he says, “You are why I find pleasure for the simple things in life.”, I lose it everytime.
Yowwww People,God is in the House!
Brazil 🇧🇷 de Jesus

The anointing was surley on this man when he wrote this song thank you jesus
Actually, Gloria Gaither wrote this song. But definitely Richard is very anointed to sing it. Best version ever!
@Shirley Rinell hey thank you I never knew that I love the Gaithersburg all of those songs we sing they wrote I love Jesus there is something about that name and because he lives they are so blessed and you be blessed as well

Amazing does not properly express the anointing on this song...the organ in back sets it off and brings an old soul church sound to the mix..bravo
Still one of my favorites🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

This was my wedding song in 2014 and my dad gave me away...He is deceased as of Dec. 2018..this song will always be my favorite! JESUS IS THE CENTER OF MY JOY!!
