Everything is Sacred

My husband and I are fans of Caedmon's Call, and they came out with a song that convicts me every time I hear it. If you have never heard the song, I urge you to get this CD, Overdressed (or at least listen to the song for free). And just in case you can't do either, I've included the lyrics below. I hope it ministers to you as much as it has to me.

Sacred
by Caedmon's Call

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
