Better Is One Day Lyrics

Better Is One Day



How lovely is 

Your dwelling place 

Oh Lord Almighty, 

For my soul doth long 

And even faint 

For You 

Oh, here my heart 

Is satisfied (is satisfied) 

Within Your presence 

I see beneath 

The shadow of 

Your wings 



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 



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 

(Better is one day) 

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 



(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 

To You 



Better is one day 

Better is one day 

Better is one day 

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 

(4X) 

Yeah, than thousands elsewhere (Yeah) 

Oh, than thousands elsewhere
