What a song. If you haven't heard it yet, you will very soon no doubt. Here are the lyrics to the 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 just slowed down to stop and stare

Opened my eyes and man I swear

I saw God today

The chorus alone doesn't do it justice, you have got to hear this one. Wow.

Strait never stops amazing me. He is one of the elite artists in country music. There isn't a song out there that I don't like from The King of Country Music. There is just something about him that makes his music so special.

The upcoming CD, brings about some notable collaborations including a duet with Patty Loveless, and long time songwriting partner, Dean Dillon. Twelve tracks will be featured on the new release.
