"I Met God Yesterday" lyrics

I met God yesterday
He was sitting on the sidewalk, begging for change
I gave him a ten, he went inside
Came out with some groceries, gave me back five
I told him to keep it
He sat there and smiled
Told me 'bout his family
He's got two kids and a wife
He said, "Life has been rough lately
I ain't found a job since I got out the Navy
Spent twenty-five long years overseas
Got nothing to show but some boots and some jeans"
And I asked him, "How do you stay so strong?
How do you keep going on?"
He said

Always bow your head when you're saying grace
Keep your chin up on the hardest of days
Find someone you love and hold them as tight as you can
Call up your mama and talk for a while
Find a back road and drive for some miles
Try making more time to pray
And never miss church on Sunday
I know it sounds crazy
But I think I met God yesterday

We said goodbye before he walked away
He said, "Make some good memories, stay true to your faith
Cherish every single day
And some things you just learn the hard way"

Always bow your head when you're saying grace
Keep your chin up on the hardest of days
Find someone you love and hold them as tight as you can
Call up your mama and talk for a while
Find a back road and drive for some miles
Try making more time to pray
And never miss church on Sunday
I know it sounds crazy
But I think I met God yesterday

I know it sounds crazy
But I think I met God yesterday
