Living in this temple,
Dealing with this clay,
I've been known to compromise,
You have seen me turn away
Though I am distracted by a temporary thrill
I could never live outside the center of Your will.
Resolutions broken, promises unkept.
You have held my faithless heart
Like a father while You wept
I've been on the edge before, and I have felt the chill
But I could never live outside the center of Your will.
(Bridge)
Keep me in the center-
In the center of Your will
Center of Your will
(repeat/echo/harmony)
I am bought and chosen, servant to the throne
Following a higher call, for my life is not my own.
Though I sometimes fear this place, and find it hard to fill
I could never live outside the center of Your will
