Cathedral Of The Open Sky

The morning breaks across the silent peaks
A canvas painted by an ancient hand
I feel the breath of mercy on my cheeks
Above the dust and stones of weary land
The heavy chains of worry fall away
A sudden clarity within the soul
I find the courage for another day
To let the grace of heaven take control

The silver strings begin to hum a tune
That resonates inside this hollow chest
Beneath the fading shadow of the Moon
My frantic spirit finds a place to rest
I do not need a sign or burning flame
To know the presence lingering so near
I only need to call upon the name
That casts aside the bitterness of fear

In the cathedral of the open sky
Where every heartbeat is a sacred song
I lift my vision to the Great On High
To where the humble and the pure belong
A flood of kindness washing over me
A river flowing from a crystal throne
The truth has set the captive spirit free
To walk the path that leads me to my home

The ivory keys are dancing in the air
Like raindrops falling on a thirsty field
Each subtle note becomes a wordless prayer
Until the hidden glory is revealed
The acoustic pulse is steady as a drum
A rhythmic anchor for the drifting mind
And as the deeper harmonies succumb
The treasures of the kingdom are aligned

We gather in the warmth of holy light
Reflecting brilliance from a thousand suns
Beyond the reach of sorrow and of night
The race of faith is patiently begun
No longer tethered to the weight of earth
No longer blinded by the masks we wear
We recognize the spirit's inner worth
And breathe the fragrance of the upper air

In the cathedral of the open sky
Where every heartbeat is a sacred song
I lift my vision to the Great On High
To where the humble and the pure belong
A flood of kindness washing over me
A river flowing from a crystal throne
The truth has set the captive spirit free
To walk the path that leads me to my home

Though oceans roar and mountains may depart
The promise stands like granite in the sea
It is the sanctuary of the heart
The gold within the dross of history
A symphony of voices rising grand
A tide of joy that overflows the brim
We stand together in this promised land
And lose ourselves inside the depth of Him

In the cathedral of the open sky
Where every heartbeat is a sacred song
I lift my vision to the Great On High
To where the humble and the pure belong
A flood of kindness washing over me
A river flowing from a crystal throne
The truth has set the captive spirit free
To walk the path that leads me to my home

In the cathedral of the open sky
Where every heartbeat is a sacred song
I lift my vision to the Great On High
To where the humble and the pure belong
A flood of kindness washing over me
A river flowing from a crystal throne
The truth has set the captive spirit free
To walk the path that leads me to my home
