How lovely is your dwelling place Oh lord almighty
For my soul longs and even faints, for you
For in my heart is satisfied (satisfied) within your presence
I sing beaneth the shadow of your wings

Chorus
Better is one 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

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

Chorus (2x)

My heart and flesh cry out
To you the living God
Your spirit is 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)

I will draw near to you,I will draw near to you

(2x)Better is one day, Better is one day,

Better is one day than thousands elsewhere

Chorus (2x)

Thousands elsewhere We want to know you
Thousands elsewhere
We will draw near to you
