Lyrics

Music is a big part of who I am. It doesn't matter what kind of day I had, what is really going on in my life (you know, the stuff no one else knows about), how upset or angry I am, how exhausted I feel or anything else, when I walk into church and sit at the keyboard to worship everything else falls by the wayside. It's like I'm completely at ease and can just rest in that place.

Music is such an amazing gift God has given us. It has the power to change our moods and take us to a totally different place. I feel like there are theme songs for many different periods in my life - songs that take me right back to a specific time period. Most of the songs I love are worship songs and well, I can't lie - I'm a Hillsong LOVER! I've been with Darlene Zschech since my early days. I'm pretty sure I was the only 14 year old listening to "Shout to the Lord 2000" while traveling across the country in a bus for a high school competition.

In recent months, Darlene's new album Revealing Jesus has been a favorite. During our daughter, Norah's days in the NICU I would blast that album as I drove back and forth to be with her. Songs like In Jesus' Name and Victor's Crown got me through. Lately, this song, Jesus at the Center, has captured my attention. The lyrics are beautiful (posted below the link).


Jesus at the center of it all
Jesus at the center of it all
From beginning to the end
It will always be, it's always been you, Jesus
Jesus, nothing else matters
Nothing in this world will do
Jesus you're the center
Everything revolves around you
Jesus, you (at the center of it all)

Jesus at the center of my life
Jesus at the center of my life
From beginning to the end
It will always be, it's always been you, Jesus
Jesus, nothing else matters
Nothing in this world will do
Jesus you're the center
Everything revolves around you
Jesus, you

From my heart to the heavens
Jesus be the center
It's all about you
Yes, it's all about you (repeat)

Jesus be the center of your church
Jesus be the center of your church
And every knee will bow
And every tongue shall confess you, Jesus
Jesus (repeat)
