Lord, the deepest longing of my heart
Is to worship You for all You are
I have tasted goodness and I've seen
Your presence is what's best for me
And I'd trade a thousand of my best days for just one with You
How good, how good, how good it is
Just to be near the Lord, just to be near You, Lord
How good, how good, how good it is
Just to be near the Lord, just to be near You, Lord
Just one thing I ask, this I will seek
Is to sit with You at Your feet
I don't want to miss the whispers of
Your heart's desire, all the things You love
And I'd trade a thousand of my best days for just one with You
I'd trade a thousand of my best days for just one with You
How good, how good, how good it is
Just to be near the Lord, just to be near You, Lord
How good, how good, how good it is
Just to be near the Lord, just to be near You, Lord
Oh, just to be with You
And all my deserts turn to rivers
When I'm where You are
So, put a highway to Your presence
In my heart, oh God
'Cause all my deserts turn to rivers
When I'm where You are
So, put a highway to Your presence
In my heart, oh God
How good, how good, how good it is
Just to be near the Lord, just to be near You, Lord
How good, how good, how good it is
Just to be near the Lord, just to be near You, Lord
'Cause all my deserts turn to rivers
When I'm where You are
So, put a highway to Your presence
In my heart, oh God
How good, how good, how good it is
Just to be near the Lord, just to be near You, Lord
How good, how good, how good it is
Just to be near the Lord, just to be near You, Lord
Sing "How good..."
How good, how good, how good it is
Just to be near the Lord, just to be near You, Lord
How good, how good, how good it is
Just to be near the Lord, just to be near You, Lord
'Cause all my deserts turn to rivers
Oh, when I'm where You are
So, come put a highway to Your presence
In my heart, oh God
How good
How good, how good, how good it is
Just to be near the Lord, just to be near You, Lord
How good, how good, how good it is
Just to be near the Lord, just to be near You, Lord
