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
