LadyDpiano: Charlie Hall: Center

Charlie Hall, the musician, is a Christian worship leader and songwriter from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
He is a member of a group of musicians and speakers that collectively form the Passion movement.

Center was written in 2005 with Generation Music. I like the song because it's mellow and just flows peacefully.

Here are the chords to the song:

Verse:
            E
You're the center of the universe
B                       A
Everything was made in You Jesus
E
Breath of every living thing
B                     A
Everyone was made for You


PreChorus:

 A          B
You hold everything together
         A          B
You hold everything together


Chorus:

 E             E/D#            A
Christ be the center of our lives
        B               E
be the place we fix our eyes
       E/D#            A
be the center of our lives


Tag:

 E                E/D#
We lift our eyes to heaven
A
we wrap our lives around Your life
   E                 E/D#      A
we lift our eyes to heaven to You


Other:

 E         E/D#      A
Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
A                          Bsus
Look full in His wonderful face,
        E         E/D#
And the things of earth
     A
will grow strangely dim,
       E            A         E
In the light of His glory and grace.

It's such a soothing song. I remember playing it once with a young worship leader who had a good
voice. As a keyboard player, I think he wanted me to play with the team using a pad sound.
You know, one of those ethereal voices for background sounds, where you're not in a hurry in between chords.
