I recently heard this worship song, and it has been the perfect song to prepare my heart for Chasing God 2025. It has distilled a lot of my prayers with simple and repeating lyrics. It has provided a melody for the cry of my heart.

The song is “Cathedral” by Cageless Birds, Jonathan David Helser, Melissa Helser. You can listen to it through this YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch

These are the repeating lyrics that captured me:

“Make my heart a cathedral
Make my soul Your temple
Make my life an altar where Your fire falls”

These lyrics connect us to biblical realities. Let’s reference the following Bible verse.

1 Corinthians 6:19–20
"Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies."

Our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit. A cathedral to host His living presence. Fasting has been aligning us with this truth. Your bodies likely feel empty, depleted, drained… BEAUTIFUL. Instead of focusing on the negative physical impact of fasting, might we consider the positive spiritual impact? Your bodies (temples of the Holy Spirit) are longing, available, and ready to be filled.

How powerfully could God move amongst us collectively, if we all prayed this way individually? Would you be willing to pray this prayer?

“Make my heart a cathedral
Make my soul Your temple
Make my life an altar where Your fire falls”
