Better than a thousand days
     Em             D
That I could spend away from You
   C
Is just one day in Heaven’s hold
      Em               D
Where mercy reigns and I’m made new


[Pre-Chorus]
Am                               C
  I’m stepping forward into Your arms into Your arms
G/B                               C
   I’m stepping forward into Your arms


[Chorus]
G                                          D
Here in Your courts that’s where I want to be
C                              D
My thankful heart will forever sing
    Em                               G/B
The praise of Your name of Jesus the King
  C
Today I can say I rejoice in all things
