Better Is One Day
Words & Music: Matt Redman. ©1995 Thankyou Music. CCLI Song #1097451

How lovely is Your dwelling place,
O Lord Almighty;
For 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

One thing I ask and I would seek:
To see Your beauty;
To find You in the place Your glory dwells.
On Thing I ask and I would seek:
To see Your beauty;
To find You in the place Your glory dwells.
(Repeat Chorus)

BRIDGE:
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.
(Repeat Chorus)
