Psalm 84: How lovely is your house
(especially for children & all-age worship. Written for two voices.)
A How lovely is your house, amazing God!
I want nothing more than to live close to you.
B Just like the sparrow builds a nest for her chicks,
you make your home in our hearts.
A We love to know that you are with us -
we will sing your praise!
B We get stronger because you are in us -
we will know your ways by heart.
A You see us every day and you hear us when we pray -
we will go from strength to strength.
B Just one day knowing you are near
is better than a thousand days without you.
A Like the warm sunshine
you pour your love into our lives.
B You bless us with all good things
when we turn to you and trust you.
A How lovely is your house, amazing God!
I want nothing more than to live close to you.
