I would rather stand at the door in the house of my Lord,
than dwell in a big house full of riches untold.

I would rather sit in the middle of a grassy meadow,
surrounded by the sounds of nature,
than walk around in a shopping mall full of many treasures.

I would rather sit at the feet of my Lord and listen to His every word,
than have the approval of man and the affection of the world.

I would rather lose temporal pleasures,
if it means I might gain an eternal reward.

I would rather stand at the door.
In the House.
Of my Lord.
