Better Is One Day
Words and Music by Matt Redman

     E                            
How lovely is Your dwelling place,
A                  B
 oh Lord Almighty
 E                                                              B
My soul longs and even faints for You
       E     
For here my heart is satisfied,
A                            B
 within Your presence
   E                                                            B
I sing beneath the shadow of Your wings

                A
Better is one day in Your courts
                B
Better is one day in Your house
                A
Better is one day in Your courts
                                 B
Than thousands elsewhere

    E
One thing I ask and I would seek,
A                    B
 to see Your beauty
     E                                                             B
To find You in the place Your glory dwells (x2)

C#m7                                    B  
 My heart and flesh cry out,
A                                B
 for You the living God
C#m7                          B           A    B
 Your spirit's water for my soul

 I've tasted and I've seen,

 come once again to me

 I will draw near to You
