Is Your abiding place;
My soul is longing, fainting,
To feast upon Your grace.
The sparrow finds a shelter,
A place to build her nest;
And so Your temple calls us
Within its walls to rest.
2 In Your blest courts to worship,
O God, a single day
Is better than a thousand
If I from You should stray.
I'd rather keep the entrance
And claim You as my Lord
Than revel in the riches
The ways of sin afford.
3 A sun and shield forever
Are You, O Lord Most High;
You shower us with blessings;
No good will You deny.
The saints, Your grace receiving,
From strength to strength shall go,
And from their life shall rivers
Of blessing overflow. Topics: Worship Scripture: Psalm 84 Used With Tune: MERLE'S TUNE
