God in the Ordinary (Folk Ballad Version) (Remastered) (Cover)

[Verse 1] I saw God in the morning light Spilling gold across my kitchen tile In the steam that rose from my coffee cup In the way the world just woke up I heard Him laugh in a child’s play Felt His peace on a porch kind of day In the rhythm of the sidewalk hum He was there, in all the small things [Chorus] He’s in the small things, the quiet grace In the worn-out hands and the weathered face In the kindness of a stranger’s smile In a song that plays for just a while I don’t need a steeple, stained glass sky To know He walks right here beside The broken roads, the busy streets He’s in the dust beneath my feet Everyday holy, everywhere light God in the ordinary life [Verse 2] I found Him in a folded note Left on the dash with words she wrote In whispered prayers I didn’t say Still answered anyway He’s in the tears that freely fall In forgiveness when I thought I’d lost it all In the way a friend just knows to call No miracle too small [Chorus] He’s in the small things, the quiet grace In the worn-out hands and the weathered face In the kindness of a stranger’s smile In a song that plays for just a while I don’t need a steeple, stained glass sky To know He walks right here beside The broken roads, the busy streets He’s in the dust beneath my feet Everyday holy, everywhere light God in the ordinary life [Bridge] In every breath, in every bruise In every choice I didn’t choose There He is, just waiting still In the silence [Final Chorus] He’s in the small things, the everyday In a child’s laugh and a grandma’s grace In the way the seasons know to turn And the way our hearts still yearn No choir robes, no angel wings Just this world and simple things He’s not far, He’s never been He’s the start and He’s the end Everyday holy, soft and bright God in the ordinary life [Outro] Yeah, I find Him here… in the ordinary light.
