In Your House (Psalm 84) Lyrics

VERSE 1
How lovely is Your dwelling place, O Lord Almighty
My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the Lord
My heart and flesh cry out for the living God

PRE-CHORUS
The sparrow has home
And the swallow has nest
Where she may have her young
A place near to Your altar

So we cry to the Lord
We long to be near
To the throne of the Lord
To see Your face and Your glory

CHORUS
Blessed are those who dwell in Your house
They are forever praising You, O Lord

VERSE 2
Hear my prayer O Lord my God, listen to me O God of Jacob
Look upon our shield O God, look with favour on Your anointed one
I rather be a doorkeeper, in the house of my God
