Holy As A Day Is Spent - Carrie Newcomer[00:00:00]
Holy is the dish and drain[00:00:01]
The soap and sink and the cup and plate[00:00:05]
And the warm wool socks and the cold white tile[00:00:08]
Shower heads and good dry towels[00:00:14]
And frying eggs sound like psalms[00:00:17]
With bits of salt measured in my palm[00:00:22]
It's all a part of a sacrament[00:00:26]
As holy as a day is spent[00:00:31]
Holy is the busy street[00:00:38]
And cars that boom with passion's beat[00:00:43]
And the check out girl counting change[00:00:46]
And the hands that shook my hands today[00:00:51]
And hymns of geese fly overhead[00:00:55]
And spread their wings like their parents did[00:01:00]
Blessed be the dog that runs in her sleep[00:01:04]
To chase some wild and elusive thing[00:01:08]
Holy is the familiar room[00:01:17]
And quiet moments in the afternoon[00:01:21]
And folding sheets like folding hands[00:01:24]
To pray as only laundry can[00:01:29]
I'm letting go of all my fear[00:01:33]
Like autumn leaves made of earth and air[00:01:38]
For the summer came and the summer went[00:01:42]
As holy as a day is spent[00:01:47]
Holy is the place I stand[00:01:55]
To give whatever small good I can[00:01:59]
And the empty page and the open book[00:02:03]
Redemption everywhere I look[00:02:08]
Unknowingly we slow our pace[00:02:12]
In the shade of unexpected grace[00:02:16]
And with grateful smiles and sad lament[00:02:20]
As holy as a day is spent[00:02:25]
And morning light sings providence[00:02:29]
As holy as a day is spent[00:02:35]
