Everywhere a Sign
It was a day like all the rest as off to work I went
Surely to face a new test for as such is life meant
But this time as I went I prayed in a different way
And the message He sent I'll never forget that day
On 95 nearing the airport and that ever present smell
Roll up the windows I exhort passing over Exxon and Shell
Instead of my daily prayer, today I just sung out His praise
And over the bridge I made my way as God would again amaze
I closed all of the windows and I even shut off the vent
When up through my nose I get this beautiful rosy scent
Like a funeral parlor or flower shop the scent was so strong
And this scent just wouldn't stop for that bridge is pretty long
Immediately I had recognized in always knowing of His Way
So I wasn't really surprised yet "in this" this is what I pray
I need not even one sign though I have seen so many signs galore
"Lord, give to them mine, You've given me so much I need for nothing more"
