1 How lovely is your dwelling place,
Lord Almighty!
2 My soul yearns, even faints,
for the courts of the Lord;
my heart and my flesh cry out
for the living God.
10 Better is one day in your courts
than a thousand elsewhere;
I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God
than dwell in the tents of the wicked.
Lord, stir our hearts like the psalmist. Give us a holy longing for Your courts. Better is one day with You than a thousand elsewhere. Let us come with yearning and joy. Amen.
Before entering church, pause and whisper: “Lord, I long for You.” Let your worship flow from desire, not duty.
