How lovely is Your dwelling place, oh Lord Almighty,
For my soul longs and even faints for You
So here's my heart, is satisfied within Your presence
I see beneath the shadow of Your wings

'Cause better is one day in Your courts
Better is one day in Your house
Better is one day in Your courts
Than thousands elsewhere
'Cause 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

'Cause better is one day in Your courts
Better is one day in Your house
Better is one day in Your courts
Than thousands elsewhere
'Cause 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 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 in Your courts
Better is one day in Your house

'Cause better is one day in Your courts
Better is one day in Your house
Better is one day in Your courts
Than thousands elsewhere
'Cause 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 
Than thousands elsewhere
