Church of the Earth

Church of the Earth
by Peter Mayer

The ceiling is high
To let your soul rise
Up to the angels who teach you to fly
And when you're weary of clouds
It helps you back down
And welcomes you home
To this hallowed ground

It's gilded in gold, gilded in rust
For heaven below and heaven above
The heaven we know here in this world
Here in our holy church of the earth

The windows are wide
So darkness and light
Mystery and Beauty meet you inside
And there's room enough
To hold all of us
Who gather in friendship
Gather in love



Church of life
Ancient and bright
Life that inside us shines
Life that we share
This is our prayer
That we may always find

The heaven we seek
Here at our feet
Here in this sunrise
In this heartbeat
