Lyrics:

How lovely is

Your dwelling place

Oh Lord Almighty,

For my soul doth long

And even faint

For You

Oh, here my heart

Is satisfied (is satisfied)

Within Your presence

I see beneath

The shadow of

Your wings



Better is one day in Your courts

Better is one day in Your house

Better is one day in Your courts

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

(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)

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

Better is one day in Your courts

Better is one day in Your house

Better is one day in Your courts

Than thousands elsewhere

(Better is one day)

Better is one day in Your courts

Better is one day in Your house

Better is one day in Your courts

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



(My heart and flesh cry out)

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

(4X)

Yeah, than thousands elsewhere (Yeah)

Oh, than thousands elsewhere
