This weeks spontaneous worship song from Sally Turner is entitled “How lovely is your dwelling place”. It is based on Psalm 84:
How lovely is your dwelling place,
Lord Almighty! (Psalm 84:1)
Sally says “We .. recently sang through this Psalm at church as part of our ‘worship and the word’ on Friday nights. But Psalm 84 expresses such a central theme that I just keep coming back to it again and again. It’s message is fresh everytime: ‘There’s no better place than wherever He is!!'” Sally’s website with more spontaneous worship pieces is here.
