VERSE 1
Oh Lord of Heaven’s armies
I’m running for your presence
In your hope and promises I hide
Be my sun and shelter
Keep me in your shadow
My strength is staying by your side

CHORUS
Better is one day
Better is one day
Better is one day in your house
Than a thousand somewhere else        
Just one day
Better is one day
Close to Your heart
Better is one day where You are

VERSE 2
Oh Lord of Heaven’s armies
I’d rather be a servant
Than to live without You as my king
Jesus draw me closer
To your grace and glory
Now that I’m here I’ll never leave

CHORUS

BRIDGE 
There is joy in Your courts
There is gladness, there is praise
I will worship forever
But if I had just one day…

CHORUS
