My Cathedral by Chris Rice Lyrics

Sweetest days of childhood
Playing in the deep woods
Stomping through the creek
And feeling oh-so-much alive

We're camping in the forest
We join the cricket chorus
Hum our songs of gratitude
Around a crackling fire

Out here in the stillness
I found my house of worship
With column trees and canopy of stars
Here in my cathedral

It was beneath the blue skies
I ran down to be baptized
I felt the river wash me clean
And dried beneath the sun

To this day believing
I'm wide awake or dreaming
Scan the ancient sky
And understand where I belong
Cause out here in the stillness
I find my house of worship
With column trees and canopy of stars
Here in my cathedral

This is where I find my soul
Out where holy men of old
First knelt in soil
And thanked You for the rain

Wrote the songs that filled the air
Harold angels sang their prayer
Out beneath
Your darling constellations

Let me off and wander
Robin song and thunder
Surrounding me with stained glass leaves
That change with every breeze

Out here in the stillness
I find my house of worship
With column trees and canopy of stars
Here in my cathedral
