BETTER THAN LIFE (PSALM 63)

Words and Music: Josh Sparkman

  • VERSE 1
    O God, You are my God.
    I seek You earnestly.
    I thirst and hunger after You
    with every part of me.

    VERSE 2
    So I have looked on You
    within Your sacred space.
    I see Your glory and Your might,
    behold You in this place.

    CHORUS
    Because Your love is better than life,
    my lips will sing Your praise.
    So I will bless You all my days
    and lift my hands in Your name.

    VERSE 3
    My soul will find its fill,
    my mouth will gladly praise
    when I remember You at night
    and think upon Your ways.

    VERSE 4
    For You have been my help,
    and in Your shade I sing.
    My desp'rate soul clings on to You,
    secure beneath Your wing.

    VERSE 5
    But those who seek my harm
    shall go down to the depths;
    they shall be given to the sword
    when justice brings their end.

    VERSE 6
    The king shall joy in God,
    and all who swear by Him
    shall glory in the righteous Judge,
    for He will end all sin.
