lyrics
VERSE 1
How sweet the place where You dwell, O Lord
My soul longs and faints for You
My heart sings out a loud song of joy
For I have known the living God
CHORUS
I want to be where You are, O Lord
I want to be where You are, O Lord
I’d rather have just one day with You
Than be anywhere else
VERSE 1
There’s no good thing that You will withhold
From those who live to follow You
I’d rather be Your servant, O God
Than have the riches of this world
BRIDGE
Those who follow You go from strength to strength
Those who trust in You are filled with joy
Those who follow You go from strength to strength
Those who trust in You are filled with joy

Adapting the translated Scriptures to lyrics and music poses extraordinary challenges: irregular scansion, wide emotional dynamics, and wooden diction are just a few. The challenges are so great, in fact, that most self-aware musicians can’t muster the necessary courage to even dare an attempt. Yet Psallos’s “Romans” seems to turn the weaknesses of adaptation into its strengths—an ever-adapting adaptation that manages to both communicate and illuminate Paul’s epistle.

I am liking what I have heard! We are looking for solid gospel songs for our church in Phoenix,AZ. I sing part time with the worship team. Our pastor and friend has asked me to find more anointed songs than what we have been singing. Thank you for your album! God bless you! Leah Wood
