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