C     G7      C                G7 
My cathedral  has a ceiling of blue 
C                  F 
My cathedral neath the sky 
C                           F 
Where I may lift up my eyes unto the hills 
C                                     G7 
And hear music from a stream rippling by 
C     G7      C               G7 
My cathedral  has an alter of flowers 
C                      F 
Their fragrant incense fills the air 
C                    F 
In my cathedral I am closer to Him 
C            G7    C 
Than I could be anywhere 
    G7 
For here I pray 
     C 
In a place so grand 
D7 
The carpet I kneel on 
G7 
Was made by His own hand 
C     G7      C                          G7 
My cathedral  has candles lighted by the stars 
C                  F 
And mighty pillars of trees 
C                     F 
No other cathedral is so beautiful 
C               G7            C 
For god made my cathedral for me
