Verse 1
My soul is fainting, my spirit is tired
Just looking for the place where Your glory resides
Even the sparrow has found her a home
Building her nest right next to Your throne
I’ve been wandering the desert, dragging my feet
Just to taste the water that makes my heart beat.
Pre-Chorus
And when I walk through the valley of weeping
When the shadows are heavy and cold
You turn my tears into a holy spring
You give me the strength just to carry my soul.
Chorus
Oh, 'cause one day in Your courts, Lord!
Is better than a thousand outside these doors!
I’d rather stand like a beggar at the gate of Your house
Than wear a golden crown in the tents of the proud!
You are my sun, You are my shield
My heart is open, my spirit is healed!
Verse 2
I was broken when I started out
Carrying the weight of my fear and my doubt
But every step I take toward Your holy hill
I feel a power that is greater still
Yeah, we go from strength to strength
No matter the road, no matter the length
I’m leaving the heavy baggage behind
'Cause I know exactly what I’m gonna find.
Pre-Chorus
'Cause when I walk through the valley of weeping
I'm not afraid of the shadows creeping
You turn the dry land into a spring
You give me a reason to lift my head and sing!
Chorus
Oh, 'cause one day in Your courts, Lord!
Is better than a thousand outside these doors!
I’d rather stand like a beggar at the gate of Your house
Than wear a golden crown in the tents of the proud!
You are my sun, You are my shield
My heart is open, my spirit is healed!
Bridge
Hear my prayer, Lord of Heaven!
You give me grace, seventy times seven!
You withhold no good thing from the ones who believe!
So I open my hands and I receive!
Oh, blessed is the man, blessed is the soul!
Who trusts in You, who gives You control!
Chorus
Oh, one day in Your courts, Lord!
Is better than a thousand outside these doors!
I’d rather stand like a beggar at the gate of Your house
Than wear a golden crown in the tents of the proud!
You are my sun, You are my shield!
My heart is open, my spirit is healed!
Outro
Just a doorkeeper...
I just wanna be a doorkeeper in Your house.
Better than a thousand days anywhere else...
Just one day.
Just one day.
