How lovely is your dwelling place
 O Lord Almighty
For 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

(Chorus)
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 and I would seek
 To see your beauty
To find you in the place your glory dwells

(Repeat Chorus)

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)
