D 
When I was a child each week  
 
 
On Sunday We would  
A 
go to church  
 
 
And pay attention to  
G 
The priest,  
 
 
He would read the  
D 
Holy word  
 
 
 
 
 
Consecrate the holy bread  
 
 
And everyone would  
A 
kneel and bow  
 
 
Today the only  
G 
difference is  
 
 
Everything is  
D 
holy now  
 
 
 
 
 
Everything,  
Bm 
everything  
A 
 
 
 
Everything is  
G 
holy now  
D 
 
 
 
 
 
 
When I was in Sunday school  
 
 
We would learn  
A 
about the time  
 
 
Moses split the  
G 
sea in two  
 
 
Jesus made the  
D 
water wine  
 
 
 
 
D 
And I remember feeling sad  
 
 
That miracles don't  
A 
happen still  
 
 
But now I  
G 
can't keep track  
 
 
Cause everything's a  
D 
miracle  
 
 
 
 
 
Everything,  
Bm 
everything  
A 
 
 
 
Everything's a  
G 
Miracle

A 
Wine from water is  
G 
not so small  
 
 
But an even better  
Em 
magic trick 
C 
 
 
 
Is that anything is  
D 
here at all  
 
 
 
 
A 
So the challenging  
G 
thing becomes  
 
 
Not to look for  
Em 
miracles 
C 
 
 
 
But finding where there  
A 
isn't one  
 
 
 
 
 
When holy waters  
D 
rare at best  
 
 
It barely wet my  
A 
fingertips  
 
 
But now I have to  
G 
hold my breath  
 
 
Like I'm swimming in a  
D 
sea of it  
 
 
 
 
 
It use to be a  
D 
world half there  
 
 
Heavens second rate  
A 
hand me down  
 
 
But I walk it with a  
G 
reverent air  
 
 
Cause everything  
D 
is holy now  
 
 
 
 
D 
 
A 
 
G 
 
D 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Everything,  
Bm 
everything  
A 
 
 
 
Everything is  
G 
holy now

A 
Read a questioning  
G 
child's face  
 
 
And say it's not a  
Em 
testament 
C 
 
 
 
That'd be very  
D 
hard to say  
 
A 
See another new 
G 
morning come  
 
 
And say it's not a  
Em 
sacrament 
C 
 
 
 
I tell you that it  
A 
can't be done  
 
 
 
 
 
This morning,  
D 
outside I stood  
 
 
And saw a little  
A 
red winged bird  
 
 
Shining like a  
G 
burning bush  
 
 
Singing like a  
D 
scripture verse  
 
 
It made me want  
D 
to bow my head  
 
 
 
 
 
I remember when  
A 
church let out  
 
 
How things have  
G 
changed since then  
 
 
Everything is  
D 
holy now  
 
 
 
 
 
It used  
D 
to be a world half there  
 
 
Heavens second rate  
A 
hand me down  
 
 
But I walk it with a  
G 
reverent air  
 
 
Cause everything is  
D 
holy . . . now
