[Verse 1]

     E
How lovely is Your dwelling place,
A           B
 oh Lord Almighty
 E                                 B
My soul longs and even faints for You
     E
For here my heart is satisfied,
A              B
 within Your presence
   E                               B
I sing beneath the shadow of Your wings


[Chorus]

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

Better is one day in Your courts

Than thousands elsewhere
                E
Than thousands elsewhere

A              B

To find You in the place Your glory dwells
