Intro:  G   D   C   G   C   G   D 
 
G                                 D 
this house is a good mess 
 
G                     D 
it's the proof of life 
 
G                                 D 
no way would I trade jobs 
 
G                                 D 
but it don't pay overtime 
 
C                     D 
I'll get to the laundry 
 
C                     G 
I don't know when 
C 
I'm saying a prayer tonight 
G                                 C                     C 
cause tomorrow it starts again        Could it be that… 
 
Chorus: 
G         D         C 
everything is sacred? 
G         D         C 
and all this time 
G         D         C 
everything I've dreamed of

has been right before my eyes

Verse : 
G                     D 
the children are sleeping 
G                     D 
but they're running through my mind 
G                     D 
the sun makes them happy 
C                     D 
and the music makes them unwind 
C                     D 
my cup runneth over 
C                     G 
and I worry about the stain 
C 
teach me to run to You 
G                                 C                     D 
like they run to me for every little thing 
 
Bridge: 
 
Em                                           D 
when I forget to drink from you 
C                                 Em 
I can feel the banks harden 
G 
Lord, make me like a stream 
C                     D 
to feed the garden 
 
wake up, little sleeper 
 
the Lord, God Almighty 
 
made your Mama keeper 
    C                 D 
so rise and shine 
C            D 
rise and shine cause 
 
Ending Chorus: 
G         D         C 
everything is sacred 
G         D         C 
and all this time 
G         D         C 
everything I've dreamed of 
C                     D         G 
has been right before my eyes
