Enter The Cathedral

enter the cathedral

enter the cathedral

come here full of praise

pause, reflect, refresh now

from long and tiresome days

when your mind is weary

and your spirit low

enter the cathedral

leave your world of woes

feel the healing touch
of a cool and soothing breeze
as it flows across a meadow
and dances through the trees


hear the creek rushing onward
in a torrent to the sea
listen, it sings so sweetly
its effervescent melody


smell the sweet lingering fragrance
of countless wildflowers in bloom
or the sweet-sick scent of sugar pine
beneath a tracker's moon


see majestic snow-capped mountains
rising up above the plain
at the crest of the world, they sit on high
upon that throne they reign


taste the days of endless wandering
where cares are left behind
savor the moments and the memories
like the aftertaste of fine wine

enter the cathedral

come here full of praise

pause, reflect, refresh now

from long and tiresome days

when your mind is weary

and your spirit low

enter the cathedral

leave your world of woes
