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
