At times I don't know how to adequately express myself.  Sincere longing, yearning, and seeking hard after the Lord often get stifled by my circumstances. This song, based on Psalm 84, has been a recent reminder of what I desire to be a reality in my life right now. 

How sweet the place where You dwell, O Lord, 
My soul longs and faints for You
My heart sings out a loud song of joy 
For I have known the living God.

I want to be where You are, O Lord
I want to be where You are, O Lord
I'd rather have just one day with You
Than be anywhere else

There's no good thing that You will withhold
From those who live to follow You 
I'd rather be Your servant, O God
Than have the riches of this world

Those who follow You go from strength to strength
Those who trust in You are filled with joy.
