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 the sidewalk

Pushing up through the concrete

Like it was planted right there for me to see

The flashing lights

The honking horns

All seem to fade away

In the shadow of the 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 look down to stop and stare

Open my eyes and then 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 melting 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 look down and stop and stare

Open my eyes and then 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
