Acappella Better Than Life song lyrics

In a dry and weary land where is no water

My soul is thirsting for you

I have seen you in the sanctuary

Beheld your power and glory

My lips will glorify you

I will praise you as long as I live

In your name I will lift up my hands

Chorus:

Your love is better than life

Your love is better than life

Earnestly I seek you

My soul is thirsting for you

Cause your love is better than life

Because you are my help I will be singing

In the shadow of your wing

I'm staying close beside you

Your right hand upholds me

I think of you through the night

With singing lips I will praise

And my soul will be satisfied

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:

Oh, God, you are my God

Earnestly I seek you

I'm longing for you

Oh, God, you are my God

Earnestly I seek you

I'm longing for you

Repeat Chorus

Scriptural Reference:

"O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water. I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory. Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you. I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name I will lift up my hands. My soul will be satisfied with the richest of foods; with singing lips my mouth will praise you . . . Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings. My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me." Psalm 63: 1-5, 7-8
