How Lovely is Your Dwelling Place
Michael Joncas – How Lovely is Your Dwelling Place
Lyrics
Chorus How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord God of Hosts! Verse 1 My soul yearns and pines for the courts of the Lord, My heart and my flesh cry out; Even the sparrow may find a home, The swallow a nest for her young; Your altars, my king and my God. Verse 2 How happy are they who may dwell in your courts, How happy when you are their strength; Though they might go through the valley of death, They make it a place of springs. Your first rain will bring it to life. Verse 3 O Lord of Hosts hear my cry, And harken, O God of Jacob; One day in your house is worth much more to me Than ten thousand anywhere else. The Lord is my sun and my shield.
