Lyrics for “Passing Through (Psalm 84)”
track 10 from Child Coming Home (album, 2019)
Psalm 84
World English Bible (WEB)
Chorus 1: 1 How lovely are your dwellings, Yahweh of Armies! 2 My soul longs, and even faints for the courts of Yahweh. My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.
(Added words: crying out)
Verse 1: 3 Yes, the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young, near your altars, Yahweh of Armies, my King, and my God. 4 Blessed are those who dwell in your house. They are always praising you. (Selah.)
Chorus 2
Verse 2: 5 Blessed are those whose strength is in you, who have set their hearts on a pilgrimage. 6 Passing through the valley of Weeping, they make it a place of springs. Yes, the autumn rain covers it with blessings. 7 They go from strength to strength. Every one of them appears before God in Zion.
Bridge: 8 Yahweh, God of Armies, hear my prayer. Listen, God of Jacob. (Selah.) 9 Behold, God our shield, look at the face of your anointed.
Chorus 3: 10 For a day in your courts is better than a thousand. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness. 11 For Yahweh God is a sun and a shield. Yahweh will give grace and glory. He withholds no good thing from those who walk blamelessly.
Chorus Tag: 12 Yahweh of Armies, blessed is the man who trusts in you.
