Scripture verses used in lyrics:
Psalm 84:1-2, 10
1Â How lovely is your dwelling place,
    Lord Almighty!
2Â 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.
