Verse 1:
DIf I could look upon You,
Gmy tongue would
strip of speech
BmAnd all imagination would
Gfail to honor Thee
DYou’re the origin of beauty,
Gthe loveliest of all
BmThere is simply no one
Glike our sovereign God
Chorus:
D G God, be praised
Bmin Your sanctuary, in
GYour mighty dwelling
DLet everything that has
Gbreath praise Your name
BmIn Your holy temple,
Gstand in awe and tremble
And marvel
( D )at Your greatness
Verse 2:
DWithin, Your walls are
Gdazzling, tapestry are formed
BmOf color, sound and
light and life, the
Gsplendor of the Lord
DWhere everything is pleasing,
Git’s perfect in design
BmWhere everyone cries,
G“Holy is the Lord Most High”
Tag 1:
G I would rather be a
Bmdoorkeeper in Your temple
G Than take the
place of honor
D Aat the wicked’s table
Tag 2:
( A )Praise Him in
Gthe heights,
Bmall you angels cry
