How lovely is your dwelling place, almighty Lord
There’s a hunger deep inside my soul
Only in your presence, are my heart & flesh restored,
how lovely

How lovely is your dwelling place, Almighty Lord
There’s a hunger deep inside my soul
Only in your presence,
are my heart & flesh restored,
how lovely is your dwelling place

In your court there’s shelter
for the greatest and the small
The sparrow has a place to build her nest

The pilgrim finds refreshment in the rains that fall
And each one has the strength to meet the test

How lovely is your dwelling place, Almighty Lord
There’s a hunger deep inside my soul
Only in your presence, are
my heart and flesh restored,
how lovely is your dwelling place

A single day is better when spent in humble praise
than a thousand years of living without You

The Lord bestows His favour
On each one who obeys
And blessings on the ones
Whose heart are true

How lovely is your dwelling place, almighty Lord
There’s a hunger deep inside my soul
Only in your presence, are my
heart and flesh restored,
How lovely is your dwelling place

oooh, how lovely is your dwelling place
