I Saw God Today

	  		 

D Bm  G (x2) 

D                          Em7 
  Just walked down to the coffee shop.  
         G 
Had to take a break.  
         D                Asus4 
I'd been by her side for eighteen hours straight.  
D                                           Em7 
 Saw a flower growin' in the middle of the sidewalk.  
                        G 
Pushin' up through the con-crete.  
             D                Asus4 
Like it was planted right there for me to see.  
G              D/F#                Em7 
 The flashin' lights, the honkin' horns,  
              D/F# 
All seemed to fade away.  
           G            D/F#        Em7 
  In the shadow of that hospital at 5:08  
       G 
I saw God today.  

( Chorus) 

D               Bm                   G 
  I've been to church, I've read the book.  
            Em7                D 
I know He's here, but I don't look.  
        Bm          G 
Near as often as I should.  
         Em7 
Yeah, I know I should.  

D             Bm            G       
  His fingerprints are everywhere.  
              Em7               D 
I just slowed down to stop and stare.  
           Bm              G     Em7 
Opened my eyes, and man, I swear.  
       D         Bm  G 
I saw God today.   


D                                       Em7                    
  I saw a couple walking by they were holding hands 
          G 
Man, she had that glow 
          D                Asus4 
yeah I couldn't help but notice she was starting to show 
D                                    Em7 
  it stood there for a minute takin' in the sky 
              G 
lost in that sunset 
             D          Asus4                G 
a splash of amber melted in the shades of red 


Chorus 

D               Bm                   G 
  I've been to church, I've read the book.  
            Em7                D 
I know He's here, but I don't look.  
        Bm          G 
Near as often as I should.  
         Em7 
Yeah, I know I should.  

D             Bm           G       
  His fingerprints are everywhere.  
              Em7               D 
I just slowed down to stop and stare.  
           Bm              G     A 
Opened my eyes, and man, I swear.  
       D         Bm  G  Em7  D   Bm  G 
I saw God today.   

D                                      Em7 
   got my face pressed up against the nursery glass 
                G 
She's sleeping like a rock 
         D                   Asus4 
My name on her wrist wearing tiny pink socks 
D                                  Em7 
  She's got my nose, she's got her mama's eyes 
             G 
My brand new baby girl 
        Asus4   A 
She's a miracle  
       G           Em7      D           
I saw God today
