Better Is One Day

How lovely is
your dwelling place,
Oh Lord Almighty.
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.
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.
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.
My heart and flesh cry out
for you the living God,
your Spirit's water for my soul
(my thirsty 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).
(And) better is one day,
better is one day,
better is one day,
than thousands elsewhere.
(And) better is one day,
better is one day,
better is one day,
than thousands elsewhere.
(And) better is one day,
better is one day,
better is one day,
than thousands elsewhere.
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.
Better is one day (in your courts),
better is one day (in your house),
better is one day (in your courts),
than thousands elsewhere.
