[Lyric] One Thing I Ask (Ted Pearce)

[Verse 1]
The Lord is my light and my salvation
The Lord is the stronghold of my life
When evil men advance against me
To devour my flesh

When my enemies and my foes attack me
They will stumble, stumble and fall
Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear
Though war break out against me, even then I will be confident

[Chorus]
One thing I ask of the Lord
One thing I ask of the Lord
One thing I ask of the Lord
That I may dwell in His house forever

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
When my enemies and my foes attack me
They will stumble, stumble and fall
Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear
Though war break out against me, even then I will be confident
[Chorus]
One thing I ask of the Lord
One thing I ask of the Lord
One thing I ask of the Lord
That I may dwell in His house forever

[Bridge]
To gaze upon the beauty of the Lord
And to seek Him in His temple
Then my head will be exalted
Above the enemies who surround me
And I will sacrifice with shouts of joy

[Chorus]
One thing I ask of the Lord
One thing I ask of the Lord
One thing I ask of the Lord
That I may dwell in His house forever

This is what I seek with all of my heart
This is what I seek with all of my soul
This is what I seek with all of my strength
That I may dwell in His house forever
