The Lord is my light and salvation,
Whom shall I fear, whom shall I fear?
In the day of trouble, He hides me near,
He is my shelter, my stronghold, my shield.
One thing I ask, one thing I seek,
To dwell in Your house, Lord, at Your feet.
To gaze on Your beauty, day after day,
To live in Your presence, come what may.
Though enemies rise up and war draws near,
My heart will not fear, I will not fear.
For You are my comfort, my hope, and my song,
You set me on high and keep me strong.
One thing I ask, one thing I seek,
To dwell in Your house, Lord, at Your feet.
To gaze on Your beauty, day after day,
To live in Your presence, come what may.
Though enemies rise up and war draws near,
My heart will not fear, I will not fear.
For You are my comfort, my hope, and my song,
You set me on high and keep me strong.
One thing I ask, one thing I seek,
To dwell in Your house, Lord, at Your feet.
To gaze on Your beauty, day after day,
To live in Your presence, come what may.
Teach me Your ways, lead me in truth,
When darkness surrounds, I look to You.
My head lifted high, I sing and I praise,
For I see Your goodness all of my days.
One thing I ask, one thing I seek,
To dwell in Your house, Lord, at Your feet.
To gaze on Your beauty, day after day,
To live in Your presence, come what may.
I will wait on the Lord, be strong and take heart,
Yes, I'll wait on the Lord, for His peace will guard.
In every storm, in each trial, I'll stand,
For the Lord is my light, He holds my hand.
One thing I ask, one thing I seek,
To dwell in Your house, Lord, at Your feet.
To gaze on Your beauty, day after day,
To live in Your presence, come what may.
