[Verse 1]
How lovely is Your dwelling place
Oh Lord Almighty
My soul longs and even faints for You
For here my heart is satisfied
Within' Your presence
I sing 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
(Oh-Oh)

[Verse 2]
One thing I ask, and I would seek
To see Your beauty
To find You in the place Your glory dwells
Your glory dwells
[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

[Verse 3]
My heart and flesh cry out
For You, the Living God
Your Spirit's water for my soul (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
To You

[Bridge]
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

[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 (Oh)

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

[Outro]
One day, one day with You
With you (Ah)
One day, one day with You
Oh, oh
One day with You
My heart and flesh cry out for You
It's better a day with You
