Psalter Project - One Thing I Ask (feat. Jeremy Casella) Lyrics

The LORD is my light and my salvation
Whom shall I fear? Whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the stronghold of my life
Of whom shall I be afraid?

When evildoers come to feed upon my flesh
My enemies and foes: they stumble and fall
Though a force encamps against me, my heart will not fear
Through war I'm confident

One thing I ask from the LORD, that I seek
To dwell in HIS house all the days of my life
To look on the beauty of the LORD
In his temple meditate

For He'll hide me in his shelter on the troubled day
He will cover me in the cover of his tent
On a rock He'll lift me high. Now my head will be raised up
Above my surrounding foes

And then I will offer in the shelter of his tent
My sacrifice, and shouts of joy
And so I will sing out unto the LORD
I will sing in praise

Hear, O LORD, when I cry aloud
Be gracious to me, and answer me
You have said, "Seek my face," and my heart says to you
"Your face, LORD, do I seek"

Don't hide yourself from me, or reject me in your wrath
You have been my help; do not cast me off!
Don't ever leave me, my Savior, my God
For my father and mother left

But the LORD will take me in. LORD, teach me your way
Lead me true, because of my foes
Don't give me up to them, false and violent men
Against me they rise up

I believe that I'll look on the goodness
Of the LORD in the land of the living
Wait for the LORD! Be strong! Set your heart
And wait for the LORD
