Lyrics:

How lovely is Your dwelling place, oh Lord, Almighty
For my soul longs and even faints for You
For here my heart 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
Thousands elsewhere

Better is one day in Your courts
Better is one day in Your house
Better is one day in Your courts
Thousands elsewhere, thousands elsewhere

One thing I ask and I would seek, to see Your beauty
To find You in the place Your glory dwells
For here my heart 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
Thousands elsewhere

Better is one day in Your courts
Better is one day in Your house
Better is one day in Your courts
Thousands elsewhere

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

Better is one day in Your courts
Better is one day in Your house
Better is one day in your courts
Thousands elsewhere

Better is one day in Your courts
Better is one day in Your house
Better is one day in your courts
Thousands elsewhere

Better is one day in Your courts
Better is one day in Your house
Better is one day in your courts
Thousands elsewhere

Better is one day in Your courts
Better is one day in Your house
Better is one day in your courts
Thousands elsewhere, thousands elsewhere
