How wonderful is Your tabernacle
And secure Your covering;
A resting place for our soul
Where love and peace it brings.
Better is one day in Your courts
Than a thousand days elsewhere,
As Your Spirit and Your presence
Can never be compared.
One day in Your courts
Renews our strength and grace,
Because it’s only You that provides true peace
When we seek You face to face.
One day in Your courts
Provides a sweet smelling scent;
A fragrance that ignites our soul
When we sincerely do repent.
You withhold no good thing
From those who respect You Lord;
Who understand Your riches
That are found in Your word.
One day in Your courts
Should become a daily visitation,
When our soul is hungry for Your truth:
To absorb without hesitation.
Blessed is the soul
Whose hope is found in You,
And covered by Your love and grace
When the heart is renewed.
The worldly ways can rob our soul
With negativity and jealousies,
But to spend one day in Your courts
Much joy and peace we’ll see.
None can compare to You
As you reignite our soul,
When the fruit of the spirit is deposited
Within to seal that hole.
One day in Your courts
Where the sunshine never ends;
Where our heart and soul cries out for You:
When our praise to You we send.
