Jesus, be the center
Be my source, be my light, Jesus
Jesus, be the center
Be my hope, Be my song, Jesus

Be the fire in my heart
Be the wind in my sails
Be the reason that I live
Jesus, Jesus

Jesus, be my vision
Be my path, Be my guide, Jesus

This song has been on my heart a lot recently. A prayer I have been praying recently has been: "Jesus, I want YOU to be the reason that I live." When I sat down and looked at the lyrics to this song (I was only thinking of the first verse), I found it so interesting that the song and the prayer coincide.

I really do want Jesus to be the reason that I live. Too often, that's not the way I live. He's not the one that brings me joy. He's not the one that I get out of bed for. I don't want it to be that way. I desperately desire and long to have Jesus be the one that puts a smile on my face and gives me a reason to live. I don't want to live for my family, for my job, or a boyfriend (or even a husband). I want to live because Jesus created me and redeemed me and loves me beyond words.

Dear Lord, please become more a part of my day, each day. Please become so all-consuming that You are all I can see. Please teach me to find my joy and purpose in You. Be my everything. Change me. In Jesus' name - Amen.

God in my living
There in my breathing
God in my waking
God in my sleeping

God in my resting
There in my working
God in my thinking
God in my speaking

Be my everything
Be my everything
Be my everything
Be my everything

God in my hoping
There in my dreaming
God in my watching
God in my waiting

God in my laughing
There in my weeping
God in my hurting
God in my healing

Christ in me
Christ in me
Christ in me the hope of glory
You are everything

Christ in me
Christ in me
Christ in me the hope of glory
Be my everything
