[E]
[Em] When I was a boy each week, on Sunday we would [B] go to church, and [A] pay attention to the priest.
[E] He would read the holy [Em] word, and consecrate the holy bread.
Everyone [B] would kneel and bow, and say [F#m] the only [A] difference is,
[Em] everything is holy now.
[C#m] Everything, [B] everything,
[Em] everything [A] is holy now.
[C#] [E]
[Em]
[A] When I [E] was in Sunday school, [Em]
we would [B] learn about the time, Moses [F#m] fled the [A] sea in two.
Jesus [E] made the water [Em] wine, and I remember feeling sad, miracles [B] don't happen still.
Now [A] I can't keep track, cause [Em] everything's a miracle.
Everything, [C#m] [B] everything, [Em] [A] everything's a miracle.
[C#]
[Bm] [Em]
[B] [C#] [E] Wine from [A] water is not so small, but an [B] even better [F#m] magic trick, [D]
anything [Em] is here at home.
[B] So, [E]
the challenging [A] thing becomes, not to [F#m] look for miracles, [D]
but finding [B] where the gifts at once.
[E] When
[B]
holy [Em] water was rare at best, it barely [B] wet my fingertips.
Now [F#m] I have to hold [A] my breath, [F#m]
I can [B] swim in a [Em] sea of it.
It [E] used to be a world half dead, [B] heaven's second rain hand me down.
But I walk it [A] with a reverent hair,
[Em] cause everything is holy now.

[Em]
[B] [E] Read the [A] questioning child's face, [B] say it's not a [F#m] testament, [D]
that'd be [E] very hard to say.
[B] See [E]
[A] another new morning come, [F#m] say it's not a sacrament, [D]
you'll [Em] hear [B] that it can't be [E] done.
[B]
[E] This morning outside I stood, I saw [B] a little red wing bird, shining [F#m] like a burning [A] bush, and singing [E] like a scripture verse.
It made me want to bow my head, I remember when [B] church let out, how things [F#m] have changed since then.
Everything [Em] is holy now, it used to be a world half dead, heaven's second [B] rain hand me [C#] down.
But I walk [F#m] it with a reverent [A] hair, cause everything [Em] is holy [E]
now.
