One Thing I Ask
Oh the LORD is my light and my salvation
Whom shall I fear? Whom shall I fear
The LORD is the stronghold of my life
Of whom shall I be afraid
When evildoers come to feed upon my flesh
My enemies and foes: they stumble and fall
Though a force encamps against me, my heart will not fear
Oh still I'm confident
One thing I ask of the LORD, that I seek
To dwell in HIS house all the days of my life
To look on the beauty of the LORD
In his temple meditate
He will hide me in his shelter on the troubled day
He will cover me in the cover of his tent
On a rock He'll lift me high. And my head will be raised up
Above my surrounding foes
And then I will offer in the shelter of his tent
My sacrifice, and shouts of joy
And so I will sing out unto the LORD
Oh I will sing in praise
Hear, O LORD, when I cry aloud
Be gracious to me, and answer me
You have said, "Seek my face," and my heart says to you
Your face, LORD, do I seek
Don't hide away from me, or reject me in your wrath
Oh you have been my help; do not cast me off
Don't ever leave me, my Savior, my God
For my father and mother left
But the LORD will take me in. LORD teach me your way
And lead me true, because of my foes
Don't give me up to false and violent men
When against me they rise up
I believe that I'll look on the goodness
Of the LORD in the land of the living
Oh wait for the LORD! Be strong! Set your heart
And wait for the LORD.
Oh wait for the LORD
Whom shall I fear? Whom shall I fear
The LORD is the stronghold of my life
Of whom shall I be afraid
When evildoers come to feed upon my flesh
My enemies and foes: they stumble and fall
Though a force encamps against me, my heart will not fear
Oh still I'm confident
One thing I ask of the LORD, that I seek
To dwell in HIS house all the days of my life
To look on the beauty of the LORD
In his temple meditate
He will hide me in his shelter on the troubled day
He will cover me in the cover of his tent
On a rock He'll lift me high. And my head will be raised up
Above my surrounding foes
And then I will offer in the shelter of his tent
My sacrifice, and shouts of joy
And so I will sing out unto the LORD
Oh I will sing in praise
Hear, O LORD, when I cry aloud
Be gracious to me, and answer me
You have said, "Seek my face," and my heart says to you
Your face, LORD, do I seek
Don't hide away from me, or reject me in your wrath
Oh you have been my help; do not cast me off
Don't ever leave me, my Savior, my God
For my father and mother left
But the LORD will take me in. LORD teach me your way
And lead me true, because of my foes
Don't give me up to false and violent men
When against me they rise up
I believe that I'll look on the goodness
Of the LORD in the land of the living
Oh wait for the LORD! Be strong! Set your heart
And wait for the LORD.
Oh wait for the LORD
