[VERSE 1]
Maybe we’ve made this complicated
More than it was ever meant to be
Hasn’t it always been about the same thing
Lord, bring us back to simple things
[CHORUS 1]
You, be the center of it all my heart belongs to You
My Savior all in all You’re the one I hold on to
For the beauty of Your Name
My soul will live to say Jesus, I love You
[VERSE 2]
Teach us to discern the moment
When to serve and when to sit here at Your feet
Keep us awake to what’s important
Just like Mary chose the better thing
[Chorus 1]
You, be the center of it all my heart belongs to You
My Savior all in all You’re the one I hold on to
For the beauty of Your Name
My soul will live to say Jesus, I love You
[BRIDGE 2]
My whole life for Your glory my whole world for You only
Everything for the honor of Your Name
If my days tell a story let it be of You only
Everything for the honor of Your Name
[TAG]
Oh how I love You oh how I love You Jesus I love You
[Chorus 1]
You, be the center of it all my heart belongs to You
My Savior all in all You’re the one I hold on to
For the beauty of Your Name
My soul will live to say Jesus, I love You
[TAG 2]
My soul will live to say Jesus, I love You
My soul will live to say Jesus, I love You
