how lovely is your dwelling place

oh Lord Almighty

for my soul longs and even fates for You

for here my heart is satisfied (is satisfied)

within Your presence

as seen beneath the shadow of Your wing



better is one day in Your courts

better is one day in Your house

better is one day in Your courts

than thousands elsewhere (repeat)

(than thousands elsewhere)



one thing i ask and i would seek

to see Your beauty

to find You in the place Your glory dwells



one thing i ask and i would seek

to see Your beauty

to find You in the place Your glory dwells



better is one day in Your courts

better is one day in Your house

better is one day in Your courts

than thousands elsewhere (repeat 3x)



my heart and flesh cry out

for You the living God

Your spirit 's water to my soul

i've tasted and i've seen

come once again to me

i will draw near to You

i will draw near to You - (to You)



better is one day

better is one day

better is one day

than thousands elsewhere



better is one day in Your courts

better is one day in Your house

better is one day in Your courts

than thousands elsewhere (repeat 3x)



than thousands elsewhere.

than thousands elsewhere.
