239. I HAVE SUCH GREAT BLESSINGS
. . . . . Giiliiii6B iiEiibitidNES
Ps 84.4 JOY/ Songs 6.3 COMMUNION
I have such great blessings living here at your side,
And my heart yearns for you, my beloved Lord,
And before your presence in your love I'm joyful,
My prize is to one day be resting there with you.
CHORUS
//Oh, Jesus, my Lord, my heart yearns for you,
It is my desire to see your sweet face!//
2
Blessed are those who dwell in your house forever,
Each and every moment, strength you give to them,
And before your presence, they'll sing of your glory,
And through the good pathway, you will carry them.
3
If through all my hardships, my heart becomes saddened,
You, almighty Lord, can free my heart from them,
And although I walk in a pathway of burdens,
Someday to your glory, you will carry me.
4
The Lord God is a sun and a shielded fortress,
For those who walk blameless, with integrity,
Blessed is the man who trusts in God the Father,
For someday in heaven, they will see His face.
5
Just a single day in the courts of our Father,
Is better than thousands of days somewhere else,
It is better one day in your faithful service,
Than in worldly pleasures, darkness and in sin.
