I Saw God Today

Just walked down the street to the coffee shop

Had to take a break

I'd been by her side for eighteen hours straight

Saw a flower growing in the middle of the 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 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

Yeah, I know I should

His fingerprints are everywhere

I just slow 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

And 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

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 slow 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 mama's eyes

My brand new baby girl

She's a miracle

I saw God today
