better is one day

how lovely is

your dwelling place

o lord almighty

my soul longs

and even faints

for you

for here my heart

is satisfied

within your presence

i see beneath

the shadows 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

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 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

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 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

thousands elsewhere
