I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

How amiable are thy tabernacles, O Lord of hosts!

2 My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the Lord: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.

3 Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O Lord of hosts, my King, and my God.

4 Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. Selah.

5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them.

6 Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools.

7 They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God.

8 O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah.

9 Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed.

10 For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

11 For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

12 O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
Psalm 84

Better Is One Day

How lovely is Your dwelling place,
Oh Lord almighty
My soul doth long and even faints for You

For here my heart is satisfied,
Within Your presence
I sing beneath the shadow of Your wings

Better is one day in Your courts
Better is one day in Your house
Better is one day in Your courts
Than thousands elsewhere

How lovely is Your dwelling place,
Oh Lord almighty
My soul doth long and even faints for You

For here my heart is satisfied,
Within Your presence
I sing beneath the shadow of Your wings

Better is one day in Your courts
Better is one day in Your house
Better is one day in Your courts
Than thousands elsewhere

We cry holy holy holy
We cry holy holy holy
We cry holy holy holy
We cry holy holy holy

We cry holy holy holy is the Lamb

Words Of Fire

It feels like I'm breaking
Under the weight of everything
A hopeless fight of gravity
Can I make it through this?

Waking to a nightmare
Cities burning everywhere while the world rejoices

The dead come back to life
Come back to life
Come back to life

I can see them rise from the ground
Witnessing breathing out words of fire
Words of fire

I can feel the fear all around
Broken hearts reaching out to the fire
Words of fire

Woah, the earth is breaking open

My hands are shaking
And I can barely even breathe
The darkness closing in on me
Can I make it through this?

Waking to a nightmare
Sounds of violence everywhere
(Drowning out the voices)

I can see them rise from the ground
Witnessing breathing out words of fire
Words of fire

I can feel the fear all around
Broken hearts reaching out to the fire
Words of fire

Woah, the earth is breaking open

The dead come back to life
Come back to life
Come back to life
(Can I make it through this?)

The dead come back to life
Come back to life
Come back to life
(Don't know if I can)

The dead come back to life
Come back to life
Come back to life
(Can I make it through this?)

The dead come back to life
Come back to life
Come back to life

I can see them rise from the ground
Witnessing breathing out words of fire
Words of fire

I can feel the fear all around
Broken hearts reaching out to the fire
Words of fire

Woah, the earth is breaking open

The dead come back to life
Come back to life
Come back to life
Come back

Shut Me Out

Tell me something I don't already know
I know that you can't stand these things
I'm preaching in the streets

But how can I contain the truth I hold inside
With all the hurting people that I see

So I don't mind putting up with you
And all the things you say
I'm not about to stop
Or even change my ways

There's nothing you can say
That will take me away from this life

There's nothing you can do
To shut me up when I'm speaking the truth

You may not like all I have to say
But you can't prove that everything
Is filled with empty words

I know my life and inside how I've changed
A testimony to the truth I speak

So I don't mind putting up with you
And all the things you say
I'm not about to stop
Or even change my ways

There's nothing you can say
That will take me away from this life

There's nothing you can do
To shut me off, to shut me out
When I'm speaking the truth

There's nothing you can say
That will take me away from this life

There's nothing you can do
To shut me up when I'm speaking the truth

There's nothing you can say
That will take me away from this life

There's nothing you can do
To shut me off, to shut me out
When I'm speaking the truth

Amen and Amen and Amen.
