Sacred

This house is a good mess

It's the proof of life

No way would I trade jobs

But it don't pay overtime



I'll get to the laundry

I don't know when

I'm saying a prayer tonight

'Cause tomorrow it starts again



Could it be that everything is sacred?

And all this time

Everything I've dreamed of

Has been right before my eyes



The children are sleeping

But they're running through my mind

The sun makes them happy

And the music makes them unwind



My cup runneth over

I worry about the stain

Teach me to run to You

Like they run to me for every little thing



'Cause everything is sacred?

And all this time

Everything I've dreamed of

Has been right before my eyes



When I forget to drink from you

I can feel the banks harden

Lord, make me like a stream

To feed the garden



Wake up, little sleeper

The Lord, God Almighty

Made your Mama keeper

So rise and shine

Rise and shine, rise and shine 'cause



Everything is sacred

And all this time

Everything I've dreamed of

Has been right before my eyes
