Psalm Based Worship

I recently heard a song on the radio that is based off of Psalms 84:10, which says " Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere; I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked".
Better is One Day
This verse is pretty easy to interpret, but it really stood out to me compared to all of the others. I have heard this song many times growing up, but I never seriously thought about what it actually meant.
To me, this is saying that life can be hard and amazing, but nothing will go wrong in His presence. We will not even think of looking back and might even forget what life was even like here on Earth. The writer was saying that they would give up their life ten times just to experience His presence for a day. Sometimes I just wish a day, week, or month to go by quickly and not to enjoy them like I should. Other times it doesn't seem like life could be any better or I look forward to something so bad. For something that important that we would want it more than anything else, shouldn't we at least give up a small portion of this time on Earth to work towards that goal? This just made me really question what I do with my time.
This also reminded me of the Psalm that we sang to the poetry class.
