Oh Lord Almighty
For my soul longs
And even faints for You

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
Than thousands elsewhere

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

My heart and flesh cry out
To 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
Better is one day in Your courts
Than thousands elsewhere
