One Thing Have I Desired



One thing have I desierd of the Lord
That will I seek after

That I may dwell in the house of the Lord
All the day of my life

To behold the beauty, the beauty of the Lord
To inquire in His temple, the temple of the Lord.

I Love You Lord



I love you, Lord
And I lift my voice

To worship You
Oh, my soul rejoice

Take joy, my King
In what You hear

Let it be a sweet
Sweet sound in Your ear
