The Cathedral
03:41
|

|
There's a living cathedral, no roof but the sky
No floor but the earth and the sea
There are no walls to guard it for all things belong
All nature and all humanity
Where clear the wind blows just where it will and it's flowing free
The cathedral of earth, sky and sea— earth, sky and sea
Every church, mosque and temple belongs to this one
All natural saints come and go
Interwoven together like light or a web
We honor the knowings that we hold
Where no one has need to tell another what to believe
The cathedral of earth, sky and sea— earth, sky and sea
There's a well of all wisdom that nobody owns
Dark, generous, true as the night
Feel it deep in the good earth, the heartbeat of God
Drink joyfully from the spring of life
We serve that great well that's sunken deep in humanity
The cathedral of earth, sky and sea— earth, sky and sea
There's a living cathedral that pulses with breath
Come, all of creation and sing
Hear the water of rebirth in each lovely thing.
All over the world it rings the same
Where each one can see the source of all: a generous seed
The cathedral of earth, sky and sea— earth, sky and sea

Teach us what it means to pray in all this world of sorrow
Teach us what it means to pray and do our part for good
More than duty, more than words can say
Teach us what it means to pray
Teach us what it means to live with a whole heart on this planet
Teach us what it means to live even only for this breath
What is ours to take and what to give?
Teach us what it means to live
Teach us what it means to try to heal a world split open
Teach us what it means to try to share another's pain
One part suffers, all creation cries
Teach us what it means to try,
Teach us what it means to live
Teach us what it means to pray

She is weeping, Rachel’s weeping for her children
She refuses, she refuses to be comforted
She is weeping, Rachel’s weeping for her children
because they are no more
Oh oh - oh
We remember, we remember all that we have lost
By the waters, by the waters of that Babylon
We remember, we remember all that we have lost
there we sat down and wept
Oh oh - oh
O my God, how? O my God, how is it possible
All day long, we, all day long we face a brutal world.
O my God, how? O my God, how is it possible?
Why do you hide your face?
Oh oh - oh
What have we done? What have we done to our siblings?
Hear their blood cry, hear their blood cry from the blessed earth
What have we done? What have we done to our siblings?
O God, have mercy on us
Oh oh - oh
