And everyone would kneel and bow
G
Today the only difference is
D
Everything is holy now
Bm. A
Everything, everything

Everything is holy now

D
When I was in Sunday school
A
We would learn about the time

And I remember feeling sad
A
That miracles don't happen still
G
But now I can't keep track

Cause everything's a miracle

Everything's a miracle
A G
Wine from water is not so small

Not to look for miracles
A
But finding where there isn't one

When holy waters rare at best

It barely wet my fingertips

See another new morning come
Em C
And say it's not a sacrament
A
I tell you that it can't be done

This morning, outside I stood
A
And saw a little red winged bird

Shining like a burning bush

Singing like a scripture verse

It made me want to bow my head

I remember when church let out
