How lovely is Your dwelling place

A2                     Bsus

  Oh Lord Almighty

E                                                     Bsus

My soul longs and even faints for You

       E    

For here my heart is satisfied

A                          Bsus

Within Your presence

   E                                                   Bsus

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

(repeat)

 

One thing I ask and I would seek

To see Your beauty

To find You in the place Your glory dwells

(repeat)
