How lovely is Your dwelling place, O Lord Almighty,
For my soul longs and even faints for You,
Here my heart is satisfied within Your presence,
I sing 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
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,
To 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 in Your courts,
Better is one day in Your house,
Better is one day in Your courts,
Than thousands elsewhere, oh
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
Better is one day
Than thousands elsewhere
Oh, better is one day
Better is one day
Better is one day
Than thousands elsewhere
Sing it to the heavens - spoken
Better is one day
Better is one day
Better is one day
Than thousands elsewhere
Than thousands elsewhere
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
Than thousands elsewhere
