I Saw God Today
George Strait Lyrics

Just walked down the street to the coffee shop
I went for a stroll to the coffeehouse, maybe headed to take a break from what kept me busy.

Had to take a break
I needed to take a momentary pause.

I'd been by her side for eighteen hours straight
I had been accompanying her for a continuous eighteen hours.

Saw a flower growing in the middle of the sidewalk
Noticed a flower sprouting up from the ground in the midst of the concrete path.

Pushing up through the concrete
Outgrowing the concrete despite it being an obstacle to growth.

Like it was planted right there for me to see
It appeared as planted for the sole reason I could perceive it.

The flashin' lights, the honkin' horns
Despite the chaos of blaring horns and bright lights,

All seemed to fade away
all sound and light appeared to dissipate.

In the shadow of that hospital at 5:08
In the periphery of that hospital around five-o-eight.

I saw God today
Witnessed a sight that cannot be expressed in lingual form; it was beyond explanation.

I've been to church
I am familiar with the norms of going to church and what it teaches.

I've read the book
I have read and learned from religious texts.

I know He's here, but I don't look
I have faith in God's existence; however, I do not make an effort to perceive Him in the day-to-day life.

Near as often as I should
Not nearly as frequently as I ought to do to manifest my faith in one form or another.

His fingerprints are everywhere
Perhaps omnipresent, God's fingerprints are visible everywhere in life and nature.

I just slow down to stop and stare
I need to halt momentarily and gaze in awe to appreciate the things and situations God has created.

Opened my eyes and man I swear
I finally opened my eyes and saw.

Saw a couple walking by they were holding hands
A couple holding hands walked by.

Man, she had that glow
She had a flawless sheen that one usually emits when pregnant.

Yeah I couldn't help but notice she was starting to show
The kid was starting to become more visible growth-wise.

Stood there for a minute takin' in the sky
I paused for about a minute to appreciate the landscape above me.

Lost in that sunset
I got lost in the colors of the sunset.

A splash of amber melted into shades of red
The sunlight transformed into various hues of amber and red.

Got my face pressed up against the nursery glass
I am sticking my face against the glass of the nursery room.

She's sleeping like a rock
She is sound asleep and experiencing a slumber like a rock unaware of what's going on.

My name on her wrist, wearing tiny pink socks
She has my name tatooed on her wrist, and she is wearing pretty little pink woolen socks.

She's got my nose, she's got her mama's eyes
My child has inherited my nose, and my spouse's eyes are heartfelt.

My brand new baby girl
It is my newly born baby girl.

She's a miracle
She is a prodigy, a life miracle that God has blessed me with.

I saw God today
This moment cannot be justified in mere words as it is a moment of immense faith and gratitude to the almighty.
