Psalm 84: 10-12
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 dwell in the tents of wickedness
For the Lord God is a sun and shield
the Lord bestows favour and honor
No good thing does he withhold
from those who walk uprightly
O Lord of hosts
blessed is the one who trusts in you
The Lord bestows favour and honor
The story of the prodigal son
Returning home
A coat and a pair of shoes
For one who was lost
Mercy forgiveness
This amazing God
Just being in his presence
Are benefits undeserved
Pure peace
Pure joy
Strength
Then the blessings
A name
A home
A father
A family
Identity
Favour honour
Just being in his presence
Even if as a doorkeeper
Abundance
Life
Selah
