I Saw God Today

Just walked down the street to the coffee shop

Had to take a break

I've been by her side for 18 hours straight

Saw a flower growing in the middle of a sidewalk


Pushing up through the concrete

Like it was planted right there for me to see

The flashing lights, the honking horns

All seemed to fade away

In the shadow of that hospital at 508

I saw God today.



Chorus:

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.



Saw a couple walking by

They were holding hands


Man she had that glow

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

Stood there for a minute taking in the sky

Lost in that sunset

A splash of amber melted into shades of red.



Chorus:

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 sleeping like a rock

My name on her wrist wearing tiny pink socks


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

My brand new baby girl

She's a miracle

I saw God today..
