[Intro:]
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 n? light, when nights are long and cold.
In sadness You are the laughter that shadows all my fears.
When I'm all alone,
Your hand is there to hold.
Oooh

[Chorus:]
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 2:]
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.

[Chorus:]
Jesus, You?re the center of my joy.
All that's good and perfect
(All that?s good and perfect comes from You).
You're the heart of my contentment (You?re the heart of my contentment).
Hope for all I do (Hope for all I do).

[Vamp:]
Jesus, (Jesus,) You are (You are) the center (the center) of my joy (of my joy). [3x]
You are everything (Jesus,) everything (You are) everything (the center)
Yeah everything (of my joy).
You're my joy (Jesus,) in my sorrow
(You are) You're my heart (the center) for tomorrow (of my joy).
When I'm nowhere (Jesus,) feeling sad
(You Are) You're the lifter (the center) of my height (of my joy).
You're my music (Jesus,) You're my song
(You are) You're my joy (the center) all day long (of my joy).
Jesus, (Jesus,) You're the center of my joy (joy, my joy).

Welcome! - Sunday, April 13, 2014 | Daily Word

WITH JOY, I WELCOME THE CHRIST—THE SPIRIT OF GOD IN THE MIDST OF ME.

Palm Sunday commemorates Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem. The multitudes that awaited Jesus’ arrival cried, “Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!”

The thoughts we think, the cells in our bodies, and the events in our lives are like the multitudes who waited for Jesus: Everything in us waits for the appearance of the Christ—the Spirit of God in our midst—and shouts with joy at its arrival.

If, for any reason, we are discouraged or in need, we recognize the Christ Spirit as it appears in our hearts and our consciousness. We feel uplifted. Through the power of the Christ within, our lives are transformed.

Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest heaven!—Matthew 21:9

Comfort - Saturday, April 12, 2014 | Daily Word

Comfort

I REST IN SPIRIT, AND I AM COMFORTED.

Life is unpredictable, and sometimes, I may feel frustrated or disappointed by unexpected events. I may feel hurt by the words or actions of others, or fearful due to an accident or illness. Yet through it all, I count on the love and comfort of Spirit.

I am empowered by the spirit of God within, giving me courage and wisdom to brave any hardship. I hone in on what is working well in my life, while facing challenges with strength. I know that even the most difficult situations bring blessings.

I rest in the comfort of Spirit, listening for guidance and finding the answers I seek. I am reassured, soothed, and consoled. Peace fills my soul.

For I, the Lord your God, hold your right hand; it is I who say to you, “Do not fear, I will help you.”—Isaiah 41:13

Birth - Friday, April 11, 2014 | Daily Word

Birth

WITH EACH NEW INSIGHT, I AM BORN ANEW.

Our physical birth is the beginning of our time on Earth, yet it also marks the end of a period of gestation or development. Whether a newborn emerging from its mother’s womb or a butterfly emerging from its cocoon, every being experiences this process of development and birth.

While my physical body was born only once, my spiritual nature continuously seeks fuller expression. With each new insight or revelation, with each new period of growth, I am born anew.

I am a spiritual being. I am the love of God in expression. In times of growth, challenge, or change, Spirit expands in me. My time on Earth may be limited, but my spiritual Self is eternal and ever-renewing.

What is born of the flesh is flesh, and what is born of the Spirit is spirit.—John 3:6

Affirmation - Thursday, April 10, 2014 | Daily Word

Affirmation

I AFFIRM THE ABSOLUTE GOOD OF GOD.

The words I speak and write carry energy and power, so I choose them with care and clear purpose. When I speak words that express Truth, I set in motion the energy of prayer. My chosen words are sacred. What I send into the world returns to me multiplied.

I boldly declare my good, speaking in life-affirming ways about myself and others. I live an empowered life of confidence and optimism. God is the only power at work within my mind, soul, and body, and this power is invincible.

My affirmations demonstrate my faith in the absolute good of God. I speak with certainty, clarity, and positive expectation.

So shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose.—Isaiah 55:11

Consciousness - Wednesday, April 09, 2014 | Daily Word

Consciousness

I SEE THE DAWN OF A NEW DAY.

My life is a reflection of my consciousness. If I am feeling unhappy with my circumstances, I don’t linger in disappointment or discouragement, but rather I rejoice in the discovery that I can change my life by shifting my consciousness. If I don’t like the film that is playing, I can change the reel!

To shift my consciousness, I examine my beliefs. Do I believe I am deserving and loved? Do I believe I am one with God? I discard any unsupportive self-talk and affirm: I deserve all the good God has for me. I am whole, confident, and strong through the power of God within me. I repeat this practice until my consciousness shifts and I see the dawn of a new day.

I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ … may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation as you come to know him.—Ephesians 1:17
