One Thing I Ask




One thing have I asked of the Lord, 

And after this I will seek always: 

That I may dwell in the house of the Lord

All the days of my life,  all the days

Oh upon the beauty of the Lord to gaze (Psalm 27:4)

To inquire in His temple and give Him praise


This is the contrite longing of my soul

This is my foremost reason and my goal

With gladness and gratitude He will fill my heart

With my mourning turned to dancing (Psalm 30:11-12)

My glorious singing I will start!


This is the reason for my song

My treasure and my wealth

It is not for God’s good gift I long

But for my God Himself! (Psalm 42:1)


Delight yourself in the Lord” (Psalm 37:4).

I wait for the Lord, my soul shall wait

And in His word I hope (Psalm 130:5).

At your right had the pleasures are great! (Psalm 16:11)


In your presence there is fullness of joy

So in your house I would forever dwell

To bask in the pleasures at your right hand

Of your glory I will forever tell. (Psalm 16:11)


This is the reason for my song

My treasure and my wealth

It is not for God’s good gift I long

But for my God Himself! (Psalm 42:1)


Psalm 27:4; Psalm 30:11–12; Psalm 42:5–6; Psalm 16:11
