I Saw God Today

I am a pretty emotional person. And for the first month or so after having my babies I am a REALLY emotional person. So one can only imagine what happened the first time I heard this song....

I Saw God Today by George Strait
released February 19th, 2008

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
it stood there for a minute takin’ the sky
lost in that sunset
a splash of amber melted in the shades of red

Chorus
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

See.....it was the story of our new baby girl Cecilia Kate....who after 21 hours of labor finally made her way into the world 3 weeks early...arriving right on time at 5:08 pm. And I have no doubt in my mind that my Heavenly Father was in that room with Tim and I. A miracle!
