  • 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 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
    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
    Man, she had that glow
    Yeah I couldn't help but notice she was starting to show
    Stood there for a minute takin' 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 Writer/s: Monty Russ Criswell, Rodney Dale Clawson, Wade Allen Kirby
