Christina Blust — No Cathedrals lyrics

Lyrics

Jesus is taking a walk
He’s left religion behind him
And there are stars in the desert tonight
Jesus watches the storms
Roll in from miles away
But for now there’s just the warm breeze
And for now there are no cathedrals
No wars fought in his name
For now, he is free to be
Before he became the world’s
Most misunderstood soul
Jesus walks by the sea
Smells the salt and thinks to himself
My God! The sky is so big
Jesus looks in the eyes
Of each person he passes
And knows change can come
And for now there is only a man
Who lives and loves and laughs and dreams
And for now there is just a man
And a desperate passion to help us see
That everything we thought we knew
Is something entirely
Oh, there there are no cathedrals
No wars fought in his name
For now, there are no Catholic school girls
No giant crosses on I-75
There are no plastic crucifixes, no 700 Club
Rome is just an empire, Nicea is just a town
Before he became the world’s
Most misunderstood soul
Jesus is taking a walk
He’s left religion behind him
And there are songs in the desert tonight
Jesus watches the storms
Roll in from centuries away
But for now there’s just the warm breeze
