How lovely is Your dwelling place,
O Lord, Almighty,
For my soul longs and even faints for You.
For here my heart is satisfied with Your presence;
I sing 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.
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.
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, better is one day,
Better is one day that 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.
