Lyrics
How lovely are Your dwelling places
Your Holy Spirit here in us
Oh how I love to sing Your praises
One day with You would be enough
When I bow down before You
I am richer than all kings
When I stand in Your presence
I am free
When I sit at Your table
I am right where I belong
In the doorway of my Father's house
I'm home
If all this world was for the taking
And every treasure known was mine
Not one of them would ever sway me
I'd choose my Savior every time
Wherever I go
I'm home
Because You're here
In my soul
You're an oasis in the desert
Living water overflow

Meaning & Inspiration
Psalm 84 (Im Home) turns the longing of Psalm 84 into a confession of belonging in the presence of God. The opening lines closely echo the psalm’s delight in the dwelling place of the Lord, while the refrain pictures worship as homecoming. Bowing before God brings a wealth greater than royal riches, standing in his presence brings freedom, and sitting at his table gives the singer a rightful place. These images present communion with God as more desirable than status or possession.
That preference becomes explicit when every treasure in the world is weighed against choosing the Savior. Psalm 84:10 is the clearest biblical anchor, since it values one day in Gods courts above a thousand elsewhere and prefers the doorway of Gods house to comfort among the wicked. The closing image of an oasis and overflowing living water broadens the theme from a sacred place to Gods indwelling presence. Home is therefore portrayed not merely as a location, but as life with God wherever the singer goes.
