Around the City - Thoughts on Exeter’s pass 9

 1 Corinthians 3:16 Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you?

St Peter’s see, Cathedral fair,

Has stood there bold, a place of care.

It’s towers two, upright declare

The lasting power of humble prayer.


It’s grandeur speaks of praise and awe

Beneath its vaulted arches tall.

The peal of bell, the choral voice

Across the years have here rejoiced.


The daily prayer, the spoken word

Has in its hallowed nave there stirred,

And still it draws from far and near

Each tourist, pilgrim, worshipper.


Though grand this ancient house of prayer

You call me Lord, to so declare,

That in my body there you ‘bide

Your Holy Spirit there to guide.


You call to mind, and in me form

A temple made of flesh and bone.

There in my heart and soul to raise 

The glory of your name to praise. 


Your daily life is your temple and your religion. When you enter into it take with you your all.

Khalil Gibran
