I Saw God Today

Just walked down to the coffee shop.

Had to take a break.

I'd been by her side for eighteen hours straight.

Saw a flower growin' in the middle of the sidewalk.

Pushin' up through the con-crete.

Like it was planted right there for me to see.

The flashin' lights, the honkin' horns,

All seemed to fade away.

In the shadow of that hospital at 5:08

I saw God today.

I've been to church, I've read the book.

I know He's here, but I don't look.

Near as often as I should.

Yea, I know I should.

His finger-prints are every-where.

I just slowed down to stop and stare.

Opened my eyes, and man, I swear.

I saw God today.

Saw a couple walkin' by they were holdin' hands

Man she had that glow

Yeah I couldn't help but notice she was startin' to show it

Stood there for a minute takin' the sky

Lost in that sunset

Splash of amber melted in the shades of red

I've been to church

I've read the book

I know he's here

But I don't look

Near as often as I should

Yeah, I know I should

His fingerprints are everywhere

I just slowed down to stop and stare

Opened my eyes and man I swear

I saw God today

Got my face pressed up against the nursery glass

She's sleepin' like a rock

My name on her wrist

Wearin' tiny pink socks

She's got my nose, she's got her mama's eyes

My brand new baby girl

She's a miracle

I saw God today
