Better Is One Day

Scripture

Psalm 84:10 (NRSVUE)

For a day in your courts is better than a thousand elsewhere. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than live in the tents of wickedness.

Refrain

One day in your presence is enough.

Quote

C.S. Lewis, from The Weight of Glory

"It would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak.

We are half-hearted creatures,

fooling about with drink and sex and ambition

when infinite joy is offered us,

like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum

because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea."
