Did you see God today?

I just walked down the street to the coffee shop had to take a break I'd been by her side for eighteen hours straight. I 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.

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'd just slow down to stop and stare opened my eyes and man I swear I saw God today.

I 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. I stood there for a minute takin' in the sky lost in that sunset a splash of amber melted in the shades of red.

I 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. ------George Strait
