Better Is One Day
by Matt Redman

Verse 1:

    E                             A          B
How lovely is Your dwelling place, oh Lord Almighty

E                                 B
My soul longs and even faints for You

    E                          A            B
For here my heart is satisfied, within Your presence

  E                               B
I sing beneath the shadow of Your wings

Chorus:

          A
Better is one day in Your courts

          B
Better is one day in Your house

          A
Better is one day in Your courts
                              last time:
               B                             E
Than thousands elsewhere      Than thousands elsewhere

repeat Chorus

Verse 2:

    E                            A            B
One thing I ask and I would seek, to see Your beauty

   E                                B
To find You in the place Your glory dwells

repeat Chorus

Bridge:

C#m7                   B   A                   B
My heart and flesh cry out, for You the living God

C#m7                B      A    B
Your Spirit's water for my soul

C#m7                 B    A
I've tasted and I've seen, come once again to me

E/G#                     F#m7                A   B
I will draw near to You, I will draw near to You

repeat Chorus ad lib
