C#m
Sacred
Holy
To put it in words
To write it down
That is walking on hallowed ground
But it's my duty
I'm a missionary

F#
So here is my confesion
C#m
It's an obsession
      F#
I'm a firm believer
       C#m
And a warm receiver
F#
And I've made my decision
C#m
This is religion
            F#
There's no doubt
                C#m
I'm one of the devout
F#m
Trying to sell the story
    A
Of love's eternal glory

Chorus:
C#m     F#m  A
Sacred, holy
   C#m
To put it in words, to write it down
F#m                 A
That is walking on hallowed ground
            C#m         F#m       A
But it's my duty, I'm a missionary

Spreading the news around the world
Taking the word to boys and girls
I'm a firm believer
And a warm receiver
And I will go down on my knees
When I see beauty
There's no doubt
I'm one of the devout

Trying to sell the story
Of love's eternal glory

Chorus:
Sacred, holy
To put it in words, to write it down
That is walking on hallowed ground
But it's my duty, I'm a missionary

Sacred, holy
Sacred, holy
(To put it in words, to write it down)
(That is walking on hallowed ground)
Sacred, holy
(To put it in words, to write it down)
(That is walking on hallowed ground)
Sacred, holy
(To put it in words, to write it down)
(That is walking on hallowed ground)
Sacred, holy
(To put it in words, to write it down)
(That is walking on hallowed ground)
Sacred, holy
(To put it in words, to write it down)
(That is walking on hallowed ground)
