[00:00.00]Holy As A Day Is Spent - Carrie Newcomer
[00:01.00]Holy is the dish and drain
[00:05.18]The soap and sink and the cup and plate
[00:08.90]And the warm wool socks and the cold white tile
[00:14.06]Shower heads and good dry towels
[00:17.75]And frying eggs sound like psalms
[00:22.14]With bits of salt measured in my palm
[00:26.33]It's all a part of a sacrament
[00:31.13]As holy as a day is spent
[00:38.75]Holy is the busy street
[00:43.11]And cars that boom with passion's beat
[00:46.53]And the check out girl counting change
[00:51.71]And the hands that shook my hands today
[00:55.53]And hymns of geese fly overhead
[01:00.49]And spread their wings like their parents did
[01:04.11]Blessed be the dog that runs in her sleep
[01:08.94]To chase some wild and elusive thing
[01:17.32]Holy is the familiar room
[01:21.13]And quiet moments in the afternoon
[01:24.95]And folding sheets like folding hands
[01:29.96]To pray as only laundry can
[01:33.74]I'm letting go of all my fear
[01:38.46]Like autumn leaves made of earth and air
[01:42.39]For the summer came and the summer went
[01:47.23]As holy as a day is spent
[01:55.55]Holy is the place I stand
[01:59.79]To give whatever small good I can
[02:03.64]And the empty page and the open book
[02:08.49]Redemption everywhere I look
[02:12.12]Unknowingly we slow our pace
[02:16.78]In the shade of unexpected grace
[02:20.74]And with grateful smiles and sad lament
[02:25.82]As holy as a day is spent
[02:29.84]And morning light sings providence
[02:35.70]As holy as a day is spent
