Okay, everyone knows what a George Strait fan I am; that goes without saying. …but really, have you heard his new song? I cannot believe it! It is AWESOME! I was driving in Crimson, my Honda, a week or so ago and all of sudden an announcement of a new George Strait song coming on. Immediately my ears were on point. And, I am telling you, after the first verse I was crying and I am generally not a weepy type person over songs and movies. But wow, what a moving song. He's genius! Best song ever I think. (I am still debating it over.) Anyway, if you haven't heard it, you got to. The title is "I saw God today". It is the highest single debut of George Strait's illustrious career. This brand new song debuted at #19 on the R&R and Billboard radio charts around Valentines Day. Royce Risser, Sr. VP of National Promotion at Universal Music Group commented on the single's immediate success, 'At this point, I don't know how you call any single from George a 'Career Record' but I have heard more unsolicited praise for this song than any since I have been at the label. I have said this before, but we will never witness another artist like this in our lifetime...simply amazing.'
Here are some of the lyrics...
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 swearI saw God today.
The song is an incredible reminder to stop being to busy to notice God. He's there, the big Man upstairs. George says His footprints are all around. Have you taken time to notice Him? Please post comments of the small or big ways you have seen God lately. I can't wait to hear what you have to say. I am ashamed to say that I don't have a story of my own this week (I've been to busy), but I am bound and determined to experience one. Word up, George.
ps I especially like the verse about the baby girl in tiny pink socks....oh, Darryl.
