Holy Now

When I was a boy each week

On Sunday we would go to church

Pay attention to the Priest

and he would read the Holy word

and consecrate the Holy bread

and everyone would kneel and bow

Today the only difference is

Everything is Holy now

Everything, Everything,Everything is Holy now

When I was in sunday school

We would learn about the time

Moses split the sea in two

and Jesus made the water wine

I remember feeling sad

Miracles don't happen still

but now I can't keep track

cause Everythings a Miracle

Everything, Everything, Everything’s a Miracle

Wine from water is not so small

but an even better magic trick

is that anything is here at all

Sooo, The challenging thing becomes

Not to look for Miracles

but finding where there is'nt one

When Holy water was rare at best

It barely wet my fingertips

but now I have to hold my breath

like I'm swimming in a sea of it

It used to be a world half there

Heavens second rate hand me down

but I walk it with a reverent air

cause Everything is Holy now

Read a questioning child's face

and say it's not a testament, that'd be hard to say

see another new morning come

and say it's not a Sacrament

I tell you that it can't be done

This morning outside I stood,

Saw a little red wing bird

Shining like a burning bush

and singing like a scripture verse

it made me want to bow my head

I remember when church let out

How things have changed since then

Everything is Holy Now

It used to be a world half there

Heavens second rate hand me down

but I walk it with a Reverent air

cause Everything is Holy Now.
