Better Than Life

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

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 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.

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 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.

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 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.

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 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.

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.
