How lovely is your dwelling place Oh Lord Almighty My soul longs and even faints for You For 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 Than thousands elsewhere. One thing I ask and I would seek to see your beauty, To find you in the place your glory dwells. My heart and flesh cry out, For you the living God Your spirit's water for 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
