Song Lyrics:
V1: How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord
My soul longs and thirsts for you
In your presence are pleasures forevermore
My heart and my flesh cry out
For the Living God (repeat) Selah
Psalm 63:1: O God you are my God, earnestly I seek you; My soul thirsts for you, my body yearns for you, in a dry and thirsty land where there is no water.
Psalm 42:1-2: As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God?
Psalm 143: 5-6: I remember the days of long ago; I meditate on all your works and consider what your hands have done. I spread out my hands to you; my soul thirsts for you like a parched land.
CH1:Blessed are those whose strength is in you
Who have set their hearts to know your ways
Through thirsty valleys and deserts bare
You lead us through, showing that you care
V2: Better is one day in your courts
Than a thousand apart from you
Theres no other place my soul finds peace and rest
My heart and flesh sing for joy
To the Living God Selah
Psalm 3:3 (NIV): But you are a shield around me, O Lord, my Glorious One, who lifts up my head
Psalm 18:30-31 (NIV): As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the Lord is flawless. He is a shield for all who take refuge in him. For who is God besides the Lord? And who is the Rock except our God?
Psalm 28:6-7 (NIV): Praise be to the Lord, for he has heard my cry for mercy. The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to him in song.
Psalm 27:1 (NIV): The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life, of whom shall I be afraid?
CH2:Blessed are those whose trust is in you
Whose anchors are firm; whose hearts are sealed
From glory to glory, and strength to strength
You have become their Sun and Shield
