How lovely is your dwelling place, oh Lord almighty 
      G                                                     D 
For my soul longs and even faints for you 
    G      
For here my heart is satisfied  
C2               D 
Within your presence 
  G                                                 D 
I sing beneath the shadow of your wings

Better is one day in your courts

Better is one day in house 
              C2  
Better is one day in your courts

Than thousands elsewhere 
                           G 
Than thousands elsewhere 
  

         G         
One thing I ask and I would seek 
C2                 D 
To see your beauty 
      G                                               D 
To find you in the place your glory dwells 
  

Em7                             D 
My heart and flesh cry out 
C2                        D 
For you the living God 
Em7                       D     C2     D        
Your spirit's water to my soul 
Em7                        D 
I've tasted and I've seen 
C2                
Come once again to me 
  

G 
I will draw near to you 
Am7 
I will draw near to you
