[Verse 1]
Morning opens
Quiet breath
Mist on fields
Cold and fresh
Coffee steam
On the sill
Distant crows
Calling still
This is holy
Plain and near
Cracked old porch
Splintered chair
Bare feet find
The waiting ground
Heart falls in
To simple sound
[Chorus]
This is my worship for the day
Rain in the gutter finds its way
Dust in the sunlight, children’s play
Earth sings first
And then I pray
[Verse 2]
Bus stop traffic
Honks and brakes
Weeds push through
The sidewalk breaks
Grocery line
Tired eyes
Baby laughs
And time slides by
Wrinkled hands
Counting change
Nothing bright
Nothing strange
Yet in the rust
And chipped gray paint
Something patient
Something saint
[Chorus]
This is my worship for the day
Bread in the oven, slow decay
Cracks in the ceiling, flaking paint
Earth sings first
And I’m the faint
[Bridge]
Not in thunder
Not in flame
In every small
Forgotten name
In every leaf
That curls and falls
A quiet choir
Inside it all (inside it all)
[Chorus]
This is our worship for the day
Mud on our boots, we lose our way
Still every stumble learns to stay
Earth sings first
We just obey
[Chorus]
This is our worship for the day
Hands in the soil, knees in clay
Breath after breath, we learn to say
Earth sings first
And we give thanks today
