One Thing

One thing I have asked; this one thing I shall seek To dwell in Your courts all the days of my life Your tent is my shelter amidst evil days You cover my head in the day of great strife I yearn just to stand at the gate of Your house I long to remain on the mountain You chose Oh, just to be near You is my true desire For only in You is my hope and repose Of all life’s delights there is naught that compares To those sacred moments with You by my side Before You, I lose every fear, every doubt For there on Your mountain, I know You provide! My heart’s constant yearning is that I might see The good of Jerusalem all of my days The good of Jerusalem, Yahweh, is You! For You make this city a blessing and praise
