Better Is One Day

Chris Tomlin

How lovely is Your dwelling place

Oh, Lord Almighty,

For my soul longs and even faints for you.

Oh, here my heart is satisfied (is satisfied)

Within Your presence

I see beneath the shadow of Your wings.

CHORUS:

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.

(One thing I ask)

One thing I ask and I would seek,

To see Your beauty;

To find You in the place Your glory dwells.

CHORUS (X2)

(My heart and flesh cry out)

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.

I will draw near to You.

To you.
