Nothing can content me more

1
Nothing can content me more,
Than Jesus in the morning,
Echoing the hallways of my heart.
My eyes from darkness clearly see,
The love within His smile, for me.
It’s then I know the reason for my life.
  Jesus, You’re my reason for being here,
Oh, it’s so clear; so I sing!
2
No greater joy can be for me,
Than turning to Jesus,
When the shadows of the day begin to haunt me.
His soft, warm Spirit spreads throughout,
Quenching all my fear and doubt.
Jesus is the all-inclusive love.
(Repeat verse 2)

This is one of my favorite morning hymns. The music is written strangely and ordered strangely because the second verse has a different tune than the first. The order is verse 1, chorus, verse 2, chorus, and verse 2 again. The recorded music on hymnal. net does not match the written music. There are rests at the beginning of some measures. I remember from when I first sang the song that those rests really stand out. Silence both singers and music then continue. That is the most memorable part of the time. The recorded music plays over the rests not stopping. I like the words even more than the tune. My favorite phrase is "His soft warm Spirit spreads throughout"

Nothing can content me more than Jesus in the morning, ECHOING in the hallways of my heart.

We can begin the day by deeply inhaling in the Lord and this name echoes throughout our heart the rest of the day. We simply need to heed this echoing - the gentle reminder from the Lord to keep turning to Him!
