Better is Your presence, God

Than anything, anything else

I'd rather have a day with You

Than a thousand anywhere, anywhere else

My lips were made for this

My hands were made for this

My heart was made for this one thing

To declare Your endless grace

To be lifted high in praise

To worship Christ, the King of kings

I've tasted, and I've seen

That better is Your presence, God

Than anything, anything else

I'd rather have a day with You

Than a thousand anywhere, anywhere else

Oh better is Your presence, God

Than anything, anything else

I'd rather have a day with You

Than a thousand anywhere, anywhere else

My lungs were made for this

My feet were made for this

My eyes were made for this one thing

To sing out unyielding praise

To walk in all Your ways

To see all of Your majesty

I've tasted, and I've seen

That better is Your presence, God

Than anything, anything else

I'd rather have a day with You

Than a thousand anywhere, anywhere else

Oh better is Your presence, God

Than anything, anything else

I'd rather have a day with You

Than a thousand anywhere else

Every part of me was made to be near You all my days

And I'm not satisfied with counterfeit

The world will pass away, it's desires surely fade

So I refuse to waste my time with it

Because better is Your presence, God

Than anything, anything else

I'd rather have a day with You

Than a thousand anywhere else

Oh better is Your presence, God

Than anything, anything else

I'd rather have a day with You

Than a thousand anywhere, anywhere else

Oh anywhere else

Anywhere else
