One thing I ask of the Lord; just one thing will I seek. That I may dwell in the presence

thousand spent in any other place. I'd rather be a door man in the presence of the
Lord, than a king from whom you turn and hide your face. For you alone are my
fortress and my strength. There's safety in the shelter of your wings. When trouble
comes against me you will hide me in your arms and show the world the reason why I
