Your Dwelling Place Lyrics

How lovely is Your dwelling place, O Lord Almighty

My soul yearns, even faints for the courts of the Lord

For Your courts, O Lord

My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God

I cry out to You, living God

Even the sparrow has found a home

And the swallow a nest for her young

A place near Your altar, my Lord, my King and my God

Blessed are those who dwell in Your house

They are ever praising You, praising You

O, how lovely is Your dwelling place, O Lord Almighty

My soul yearns, even faints for the courts of the Lord

For Your courts, O Lord

My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God

I cry out to You, living God

How blessed are those whose strength is in You

Whose hearts are set on Your presence

As they pass through the Valley, they make it a place of springs

They go from strength to strength

Till each appears before God in Zion, in Zion

Better one day in Your courts, Lord, than thousands elsewhere

I would rather stand at the threshold of Your house

Than to dwell in the tents of the wicked, O, Lord

For You are my sun and shield; giving grace and glory

Withholding nothing from those who trust in You

O, how lovely is Your dwelling place, O Lord Almighty

My soul yearns, even faints for the courts of the Lord

For Your courts, O Lord

My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God

I cry out to You, living God

How lovely Your dwelling place
