HOLY NOW

.

This morning, outside I stood

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

How things have changed since then

Everything is holy now

It used to be a world half there

Heaven's second-rate hand-me-down

But I walk it with a reverent air

'Cause everything is holy now.
