Psalm 84
[Verse]
How lovely is your dwelling place
My heart and soul yearn for grace
Even the sparrow finds a nest
Oh Lord Almighty you're the best
[Verse 2]
Blessed are those who dwell with you
They sing your praise their whole life through
Strength is granted as they go
From valley low to heights they grow
[Chorus]
Oh,
Better one day in your sacred halls
Than a thousand anywhere that calls
I'd rather be a gatekeeper there
Than dwell in tents of worldly flair
Oh,
With you, my heart finds rest so true
In your grace, my life renews
[Verse 3]
Sun and shield you give us light
You bestow favor in our sight
No good thing do you withhold
From those who walk your path so bold
[Verse 4]
Your peace surrounds, my heart's delight
In your courts, my soul takes flight
Joy abounds, your love sustains
In your presence, fear refrains
[Chorus]
Oh,
Better one day in your sacred halls
Than a thousand anywhere that calls
I'd rather be a gatekeeper there
Than dwell in tents of worldly flair
Oh,
With you, my heart finds rest so true
In your grace, my life renews
[Bridge]
Oh Lord blessed is the one who trusts
In your name their soul adjusts
From strength to strength they cry aloud
In your courts they feel so proud
[Chorus]
Oh,
Better one day in your sacred halls
Than a thousand anywhere that calls
I'd rather be a gatekeeper there
Than dwell in tents of worldly flair
Oh,
With you, my heart finds rest so true
In your grace, my life renews
[Outro]
Oh Lord, our strength, our joy, our peace
From dawn to dusk, our faith increase
Forevermore, we sing your praise
In endless love, our voices raise
[Chorus]
Oh,
Better one day in your sacred halls
Than a thousand anywhere that calls
I'd rather be a gatekeeper there
Than dwell in tents of worldly flair
Oh,
With you, my heart finds rest so true
In your grace, my life renews
[Outro]
Oh Lord, our strength, our joy, our peace
From dawn to dusk, our faith increase
Forevermore, we sing your praise
In endless love, our voices raise
[Outro 2]
Through every trial, you hold us near
In faith and love, you cast out fear
Eternal King, our voices soar
Now and forever, we adore
