Petra - Better Is One Day Lyrics






How lovely is your dwelling place
O Lord Almighty
For my soul longs and even faints for you
For here my heart is satisfied
Within your presence
I sing beneath the shadow of Your wings

Better is one day in your courts
Better is one day in your house
Better is one day in your courts
Than thousands elsewhere

One thing I ask and I would seek
To see your beauty
To find you in the place your glory dwells

My heart and flesh cry out
For you, the living God
Your spirit's water to my soul
I've tasted and I've seen
Come once again to me
I will draw near to you
I will draw near to you

    Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed. For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness. For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
    (Psa 84:9-12)

    My name is Petra. I know, for a fact, that it's not a coincidence that God had me named the same. If this band-only a handful of people-can reach the nations, then so can I! I know that God will use me to lay down a foundation of stone! I can't wait to see the wonders he uses me for! My life is in his hands, and that's where it's going to be for all eternity! AMEN! (Remember, this confession is not just over me, but over all the children of God, and all those who will soon know his presence!!!!)
