Better Is One Day

Better is one day 
Better is one day 
Than thousands elsewhere

How lovely is Your dwelling place,
O Lord Almighty.
For 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

One thing I ask and I would seek,
To see your beauty.
To find You in the place 
Your glory dwells.

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!
